python - How to install imutils library in anaconda 3.4.4?

Question

I use OpenCV environment in Anaconda Navigator, so I download it from environments icon in the left side on screen in Navigator but I didn't find the imutils library in it! So, how can I get the imutlis library?

I tried this in Anaconda Prompt :

conda install pip
pip install imutils

and didn't work.

Answer 1

The imutils library is available from Conda Forge, so I recommend installing it from there.

conda install -c conda-forge imutils

Generally, one should avoid using pip in the base env because it frequently leads to an unmanageable package state. Please see "Using Pip in a Conda Environment".
