title: Unable to install Yellowbrick or Pipenv on Conda on Windows: infinite package conflicts
body: <p>I have recently installed Anaconda3 on my Windows machine. I need to install <a href="https://www.scikit-yb.org/en/latest/quickstart.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Yellowbrick</a> and followed their instructions on the quickstart page. Conda is not on my system's PATH, according to installation instructions.</p>
  <p>From the anaconda prompt, I tried to install yellowbrick but it never goes beyond the 'solving environment' part. I ran the installer command with the --debug flag and it seems to be pointing conflicts on every single of the 408 dependencies associated with it. I set the channel priority as <code>strict</code> according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62060079/how-to-solve-package-conflict-on-conda">this answer</a> and nothing changed.</p>
  <p>When I try to install yellowbrick (through pip) on my Linux machine, it works without a problem.</p>
  <p>I have tried to install plotly the same way and it worked. However, pipenv has the same problems, and it never goes past the 'solving environment` step either.</p>
  <p>I tried it on two different machines and the result is the same. One runs Windows 10, the other Windows 11. Please help as I'm clueless what to do next.</p>
  <p>EDIT: Error output below.</p>
  <p><code>Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: / Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages. This can take several minutes.  Press CTRL-C to abort.</code></p>
  <p>The &quot;several minutes&quot; mentioned turned into a whole night and counting.</p>
