If you need the nice environment management that conda brought, you can now use pipenv.

Since I think most of us are using some *nix OS on the RPi, we probably have compilers, and pip is pretty good at compiling things for you automatically. In fact, even the most recent installer only installs python 3.4, which is almost 4.5 years old (ancient in conda), and older than the default python3 installed with raspbian.īut the upside is that pip has really improved drastically in recent years. But nowadays, most of those old builds have disappeared, which means that conda just isn't a good solution for RPi beyond the basic installation of python and pip. A year or two ago, the situation was better. I think the problem is basically that conda packages need to be built specifically for the ARM architecture that RPi uses, and there just aren't many people building them on this architecture. I had the same experience with an older installation of conda, tried updating and had the same experience again.
