Update Python to 3.9 on Anaconda [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to update python to 3.9 using the anaconda distribution using this command:

conda install python==3.9.0

However, there is no output but an error. All of the other methods I have seen are extremely difficult, so is there an easier way of updating python (preferably using the terminal- I am on MacOS)? I am unsure if Python 3.9.0 is even on the condo distribution, since when you go to the Anaconda website, Anaconda comes pre-packaged with Python 3.8.

Answer 1

Try this:

conda create -c conda-forge python=3.9 -n py39-demo
