I wanted to create a virtual environment in conda prompt:

conda create --name name_of_venv

I am getting error:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: done

CondaSSLError: Encountered an SSL error. Most likely a certificate verification issue.

Exception: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='repo.anaconda.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1129)')))

The same error I get with anaconda navigator too.

Although it is not the best thing to do in terms of security, you can set SSL verify = FALSE as follow:

conda config --set ssl_verify false

  • Actually I have found this method, but as you mentioned it is not the best thing to do. All the resources that I have been through and they have also suggested the same. Is there any other way around? – Partha Pratim Sarma Dec 29 '22 at 13:06
