Question:
I tried to follow the instructions from this website called https://github.com/conda-forge/python-wget-feedstock to install wget. However, i get the error message as shown below and i have no clue what it actually means. Is there a way to install wget from anaconda in windows 10?
Error when using conda install -c menpo wget
Answers:
Try this
conda install -c menpo wget
If you check the error message, you are getting connection timeout which is most probably related with your proxy configurations.
Use this command to see proxy_servers
conda config --show
If any proxy server is present, you can remove it by
conda config --remove-key proxy_servers.
It will remove saved proxy servers from anaconda configuration. Then run,
conda clean --source-cache
However if you are behind a company proxy, you have to set them correctly.
set http_proxy=http://username: [email protected]:{port}
set https_proxy=https://username: [email protected]:{port}
Although I’ve used wget a lot in the past (in PHP, back in the olden days), it seems to me that you would be much better off adapting your workflow to use requests instead, if it’s at all possible.
I wrestled with Anaconda for hours to try to get wget to install on a Win10 x64 version, and eventually I bit the bullet and refactored things to get rid of the dependency.
requests is no slower than wget, in my experience: I download very large GIS datafiles every month (totalling ~3.4GB) and the total download time is basically unchanged by the switch.
I am using jupyter notebook and anaconda for management.
not same issue but was not able to install wget through anaconda (told the following packages is not available in the current channel)
I have used pip to install it in my virtual environment.
pip install wget
Use
python -m pip install -U wget
