This the message after trying to update conda:

conda env update
Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org

SpecNotFound: Can’t process without a name

Also, is this OKay after git pull in fatsai repo?:

git pull

The first one (about conda update) solved, still not sure if git pull works correctly.

That’s usually because you modified some of the notebooks on your folders.
rename the notebooks that you modified and try again.

If you do the other instruction commit or stash

lion137, how did you solve the SpecNotFound error?

I think, Czech mistake:), I didn’t provide enviroment file enviroment.yml. On my computer:
conda env update -f environment-cpu.yml

7

I could do git pull and it worked after git stash but I still get the error SpecNotFound: Can't process without a name when I run conda env update.
I also tried what @lion137 said conda env update -f environment-cpu.yml but I get the same error

I appreciate any help

I solved the first problem:
conda env update should run not from the fastai directory but from the parent directory.
The new problem I have after update is the following :
I get the warning

to activate this envirounment use:
source activate fastai

and when I tray to run this command I get the following error:

source: not found

after some searches I tried :slight_smile:

conda activate fastai

I also get error:

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
If your shell is Bash or a Bourne variant, enable conda for the current user with

$ echo ". /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

or, for all users, enable conda with

$ sudo ln -s /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh /etc/profile.d/conda.sh

The options above will permanently enable the 'conda' command, but they do NOT
put conda's base (root) environment on PATH. To do so, run

$ conda activate

in your terminal, or to put the base environment on PATH permanently, run

$ echo "conda activate" >> ~/.bashrc

Previous to conda 4.4, the recommended way to activate conda was to modify PATH in
your ~/.bashrc file. You should manually remove the line that looks like

export PATH="/opt/conda/bin:$PATH"

after trying all the above mentioned command I still cget the same error as above after running the command.

I also tried:

activate conda

and it also give me the error:

/bin/sh: 8: activate: Permission denied

P.S. I use Paperspace
any help is appreciated

Hello.
You can use . instead of source. For example . activate fastai.
If you use Paperspace it’s better to run bash in terminal. Just type bash in terminal window.
