Anaconda install new packages without updating conda

I am trying to install a python package by using conda install. It pops this message and halt:

enter image description here

Does it mean I have to update conda first? Is it possible to install new packages without updating to the latest version?

It is preferred to have latest Conda version to install packages.Updating Conda is easy. The terminal also shows you the respective command for this. You can find more help here: Conda update

According to this answer from the Anaconda GitHub, one can achieve what you are looking for through conda install <package> conda=X.X where X.X is your conda version.

Additionally, one can suppress the conda auto-update through the following command conda config --set auto_update_conda false
