Cannot install pynrrd via conda

[prakharprakash]

Executing the following command:
conda install -c kayarre pynrrd
results in the error message:

Solving environment: failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 404 NOT FOUND for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/kararre/noarch/repodata.json>
Elapsed: 00:00.195405
CF-RAY: 4c2cf5e01ad87197-ORD

The remote server could not find the noarch directory for the
requested channel with url: https://conda.anaconda.org/kararre

As of conda 4.3, a valid channel must contain a `noarch/repodata.json` and
associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` file, even if `noarch/repodata.json` is
empty. please request that the channel administrator create
`noarch/repodata.json` and associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` files.
$ mkdir noarch
$ echo '{}' > noarch/repodata.json
$ bzip2 -k noarch/repodata.json

The solution appears to be creating the noarch directory per the error message

On phone right now, will investigate later.

Initial question, why are you using conda? I don't maintain any releases on conda.

Try pip install pynrrd instead

Edit: Conda package seems to be latest version of pynrrd.

[prakharprakash]

I prefer conda over pip. No other reason.
It appears https://anaconda.org/kayarre/pynrrd is maintained by someone else. I'll see if I can ask them directly.

Edit: I was able to install pynrrd by first installing pip within my conda environment and then issuing pip install pynrrd within the same environment.

I understand. I'll go ahead and close this issue.

Personally, I think conda and pip are good when used in conjunction. For a source-only library like pynrrd that has no C bindings, I think pip is fine.
