One method of installing a package through conda is-

conda install -c anaconda lxml

And another is-

conda install -c conda-forge lxml

What are the differences between these two?

In the conda install -c or conda install --channel context, anaconda and conda-forge are CHANNELs to two different package repositories.

  1. anaconda repo is managed by Anaconda, Inc. (https://anaconda.org/), and
  2. conda-forge repo is managed through community effort. (See https://conda-forge.org/docs/user/introduction.html for more info).
