A package was installed through conda-forge

conda install -c conda-forge <package>

However, I don't know how to upgrade the package to the newest version, because

conda install --upgrade -c conda-forge openai

didn't work, so I typed

pip install --upgrade <package>

Somehow it worked, but does it affect the package dependency?

    Try `conda update -c conda-forge openai` See https://stackoverflow.com/a/44072944/7976758 Found in https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bconda%5D+upgrade – phd Mar 23 '23 at 12:19

    The premise here is basically a typo (it's `conda upgrade`). But sure, `pip` *can* be used, but Conda defaults to not recognize it as satisfying dependencies because...[it's complicated](https://stackoverflow.com/q/75467411/570918). – merv Mar 23 '23 at 16:14
  • @phd Thank you, it worked. In general, if there's no dependence issues, then conda install and pip install worked the same is it? they both install the packages in the anaconda3 folder. – ShoutOutAndCalculate Mar 25 '23 at 01:43

    Conda and `pip` are [two completely different beasts](https://stackoverflow.com/q/20994716/7976758). Once you've started to use `conda` the advice is to use it for everything except when a package is not available; for such a case temporary return to `pip`. – phd Mar 25 '23 at 10:54
