Can't install Keras 1.1 on anaconda

Using Anaconda 2.2.0 I'm trying to install an older version of Keras, specifically 1.1.0.

So far I've just put in anaconda prompt conda install keras=1.1.0 but I've been getting the following error.

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

  - keras=1.1.0

Current channels:

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/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.

Does anyone know if it's possible to install keras 1 on Anaconda? Is it safe to use pip install?

There are no available candidates (for win64) in the default channels and also not in the free channel.

Is it "safe" to use pip?

You can find a good blog post from anaconda on the topic. The gist is: You can do it, but take care. For Anaconda, I would always suggest to not mess with the base env in any way. If you create a new env, install everything that you need besides keras and then pip install keras=1.1 you should be fine. You can even do it using an environment.yml file like this (I added six, theano and pyyaml as they are dependencies of keras:

name: keras
channels:
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - python
  - theano
  - six
  - pyyaml
  - pip
  - pip:
    - keras==1.1

Simply create the env and then use it by activating

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate keras
