Conda install basemap error

Question

I'm trying to install matplotlib-basemap through Anaconda prompt, but it's just not working.

When I type:

conda install basemap

The error it gives is:

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - basemap
  - xlsxwriter

Does this mean I need to unistall xlsxwriter (even though I need it)? How do I unistall this then?

I also tried downloading it through https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#basemap:

pip install basemap-1.1.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

but then the error is:

basemap-1.1.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Answer 1

It worked when I typed in:

conda install -c conda-forge basemap

Answer 2

I had to do the same thing several times. Run as administration>>> "Anacodna Prompt" then type:

conda install -c conda-forge basemap

it worked for me.
