gTTS package installation using anaconda on windows

I am creating my own chatbot and so I need the gTTS package but I can not install it with conda on windows, every time the installation ends with a failure.

I tried: conda install gTTS

and also: conda install -c conda-forge gTTS

The result:

Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - gtts

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/win-64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch
  - ....
  - ....

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

    https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

On the anaconda website, it says that gtts is only available for download on Linux, so I don't think you can use gtts with conda on Windows. https://anaconda.org/tdido/gtts-token

You have the option of using Linux, or installing from pip. https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/

What you could do is install pip in your conda virtual environment. However, using pip and conda together might cause problems, so it is best to create a new conda virtual environment if possible to install pip and gtts.

  1. Create a virtual environment using conda create --name pip_env
  2. Open it using conda activate pip_env of source activate pip_env
  3. In a new virtual environment, use conda install pip to install pip
  4. Then use pip install gtts
  5. To double-check that it has been installed, use conda list in pip_env to look for gtts.
