title: Conda install basemap error
body: <p>I'm trying to install matplotlib-basemap through Anaconda prompt, but it's just not working. </p>
  
  <p>When I type: </p>
  
  <pre><code>conda install basemap
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error it gives is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
    - basemap
    - xlsxwriter
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this mean I need to unistall xlsxwriter (even though I need it)?  How do I unistall this then?</p>
  
  <p>I also tried downloading it through <a href="https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#basemap" rel="noreferrer">https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#basemap</a>: </p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install basemap-1.1.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but then the error is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>basemap-1.1.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
  </code></pre>
