When I try to type in the command - "conda install -c conda-forge capstone" I get the following error: CAPSTONE is the workspace where I want to install OpenCV (base) PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> conda install -c conda-forge capstoneCollecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): doneSolving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): doneSolving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Can someone help as to what I am doing wrong?

I had real issues getting OpenCV installed and working on Visual Code or any of the other IDE's. To solve the issue I eventually had to: 1. Uninstall Anaconda completely. 2. Download the version of Anaconda used by Giles in the video from here : https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/, (It was this one for my pc https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2019.07-Windows-x86_64.exe) 3. I ran the initial code suggested in video (conda -V, conda update conda etc.) but instead of running the code suggested in the video (conda install -c conda-forge capstone) I used the following code: conda install opencv That worked for me, hopefully helps anyone else with the same issue. Thanks to this answer for the above code: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57152021 Cheers, Mark

Hi Aveek, thanks for reaching out. You could look at the stackoverflow thread, were a similar problem is being discussed: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48493505/packagesnotfounderror-the-following-packages-are-not-available-from-current-cha One of the suggestions they offer is to use conda config --append channels conda-forge, instead of install. Could you give that a go and let us know if it works? Best, Eli

The provided instructions in the course are incorrect. The correct command is conda install -c conda-forge opencv conda install --help you will see that the -c flag tells conda which channel to install the package from. The command provided in the course erroneously uses the environment (called capstone) as the second argument of the install command. PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels: -capstone This error is evidence to the user that the package the program is attempting to install is '-capstone', rather than opencv
