I am trying to install fastai as per the docs.

I have run:

conda create -n fastai_env python=3.8

conda install -c fastai fastai

and I get:

any ideas what is going wrong?

Maybe include the pytorch channel?
`conda install -c fastai -c pytorch fastai ’

Ah okay adding the -c pytorch fixed it.

Also I was able to install in the end using pip instead
