I'm currently trying to install scrapy when I encountered my first error:

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute_actions(337): An error occurred while installing package 'conda-forge::automat-0.7.0-py_1'. CondaError: Cannot link a source that does not exist. D:\ProgramFiles\Python\Scripts\conda.exe Running conda clean --packages may resolve your problem. Attempting to roll back.

CondaError: Cannot link a source that does not exist. D:\ProgramFiles\Python\Scripts\conda.exe Running conda clean --packages may resolve your problem.

I researched this error and followed the advice on this link:

My issues were largely similar to his until I reached the comment which advised me to run conda update -n base conda.

When I ran this code, I encountered my next error:

CondaEnvironmentNotFoundError: Could not find environment: base . You can list all discoverable environments with conda info --envs.

Kindly advice if my steps taken were appropriate and how can I fix this issue.

The weird thing is I installed scrapy before, and these errors occurred after I recently re-installed Anaconda.

I'm not sure what other info you might require to better understand the situation. Do let me know and I will assist promptly.

Thank You

Try the conda install scrapy channel instead of the conda-forge channel. To understand the difference between these two channels please read the answer of the following question Should conda, or conda-forge be used for Python environments?
