I am trying to install geopandas and have therefore downloaded anaconda. However the anaconda prompt gives back an error when I try the command "conda install geopandas" (Installing geopandas with anaconda prompt causes ImportError). I discovered that conda won't install any package, nor will it create new environments. And, as it happens, will not even work for "conda info" (see below error report).
Looking through help suggestions on the internet I added both "C:\Users\Name\anaconda3" and "C:\Users\Name\anaconda3\Scripts" to the PATH System environment variable but it didn't resolve the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
