PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels: Climate4R

[machooljoy]

Hi there,

I have downloaded Miniconda and used the code given on Github to create a new environment and to download the climate4r packages. However, I get the error PackagesNotFoundError after using the command below.

conda install -c conda-forge -c r -c defaults -c santandermetgroup climate4r

This may be a stupid question but I am new to Miniconda/Anaconda and do not know how to resolve this.

found a way around it

Dear @machooljoy,

Please can you provide exactly the error and the output the command it's providing?

Which way around did you find it?

Regards

I downloaded all the packages directly from GitHub in R, that was my way 'around' it

I'd be curious to know what the "proper" solution is to this. I've run into it as well with a fresh miniconda install on my M3 Max MacBook Pro.

I can install straight from GitHub, but would like to understand why the README instructions fail first.
