Conda PackageNotFoundError - unable to install packages

Viewed 6336

I'm trying to install a set of libraries used in a data science course, following the instructions from this url, under "Setting up the environment". I have installed Acaconda3 using Python 3.6 on a Windows 10 machine. I have a previously installed version of Python 2.7 which I suspect is the problem, but I´m not sure how to solve this (both versions are now listed in the environment settings).

The problem starts when trying to install the libraries, which gives me the following error when I open a command prompt and enter a "conda install ... " command. The .txt file I´m trying to read is in the project folder. How can I install the packages properly? (anaconda administrator allows a workaround by letting you select the packages and install them from there, but I´d like to know why the command prompt doesn´t work in this case).

        (packt-py36) C:\Users\Eric\AnacondaProjects>conda install --file 
        conda-reqs.txt --yes
