IDP Package Repo not active

[hari_muc]

Hello,
Since a Intel Distribution for Python 2024.2 came out, the intel python package repos on anaconda are not to be found anymore and the new package repo suggested by intel is also down (see image below).

Any advice on how to install additional python packages and create new conda environments?

Thanks,

Hi Srihari,

Please execute the following command to install packages:

conda install -c https://software.repos.intel.com/python/conda/ -c conda-forge <package_name>

For a specific version:

conda install -c https://software.repos.intel.com/python/conda/ -c conda-forge <package_name>==<version>

If you encounter any issues, let me know.

Best,

Stef

Hi Stef,

Thanks for the advice. But this also gives the same old error, "HTTP 403 FORBIDDEN for channel intel " & " Channel is not accessible or is invalid".

I've posted a screenshot.

Could you please try running 

conda config --remove channels intel

and re-try the previous command?

Thanks,

Stef

Hi Stef,

I did "config --remove" the intel channel & I manually checked the .condarc file & it does not have the "intel" channel listed but it still

Despite that it still shows exactly the output i.e. the intel channel in the list.

Could that channel be causing the problem? Because the https://software.repos.intel.com/python/conda/ website is still down.

Hi Srihari,

Sorry for the late reply. Please note that https://software.repos.intel.com/python/conda/ is not a website and you should be able to use it as a conda channel. Could you please install miniforge and let us know if you're encountering the same issue?

Thank you,

Stef

Hi Stef,

Sorry, this time from me for the late reply.

It finally worked, but not until I set "allow_non_channel_urls" to true, as suggested here.

This work needed since conda still seems to search for the old intel repo hosted on anaconda servers even though the .condarc file doesn't show 'intel'.

Thanks for your help!

Best
Srihari
