requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://conda.anaconda.org/new_channel_url/win-64/current_repodata.json

This is a network error and is usually transient. Can you please try again?

#3

I tried many times but it is not installed

#4

Error is coming

Maybe it was about a connection error with the servers. Would you try again to install it? I am installing the latest version of MFiX right now.

  1. Do not post the download links publicly

  2. Why are you installing version 23.1.1 instead of 23.2 which we just released?

#7

I had also tried to install the 23.2 but the problem was the same coming.

#8

Sorry for the mistake. I’ll be careful next time.

#9

I really don’t understand what’s going on here.

In your error report, the key error is:

    requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: 
https://conda.anaconda.org/new_channel_url/win-64/current_repodata.json

The string new_channel_url in there looks suspicious, that looks like a variable that should have been replaced with an acual value.
I am not able to reproduce this - I just re-installed both 23.2 and 23.1.1 without issues.

Perhaps you can try the alternate miniforge/mamba-based setup -

Alternate install instructions

In fact, we’re planning on making this the default installation method, since it is a smaller download and quicker installation.

I tried it too but couldn’t find the solution. What is the reason behind this, is it an anaconda problem or mfix problem?
