conda install -c from a channel gives me a different version from the website

This question is about conda install command instead of scikit-learn itself.

I ran conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn expecting version 0.24.0 as shown on the Anaconda Cloud conda-forge webpage.

But conda list is showing that the version is 0.23.2 and the channel field is empty (I expected the channel field to be conda-forge).

Is there some conda install config that I'm messing up? How come the -c conda-forge flag doesn't seem to be working?

If you require a specific version, then specify it:

conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn=0.24

The issue here is that Conda first tries a frozen install, which entails checking to see if any versions of scikit-learn are available that do not require updating any packages already in your environment. Apparently, version 0.23.2 was already perfectly aligned to your existing packages, whereas 0.24 requires changing your existing package versions.

Alternatively, let it install the easiest version, then update:

conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn
conda update -c conda-forge scikit-learn
