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?

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

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
