pyqt 4 Slip-rate calculator

[ghost]

HI! I am on a Windows system and I downloaded Anaconda3 and tried to complete the first part of your instructions. Would you mind advising me on how to resolve the problem I am running into? I apologize if the solution is trivial! I have never used Anaconda and am not super familiar with python. I also sent an email, but wasn't sure if it was the correct address.

The issue arises when trying to set up the environment. Here is the error:

conda env create -f slip_rate_calculator_env.yml
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed

ResolvePackageNotFound: 
 pyqt=4

When trying to install pyqt4 separately, It provides the following error:

conda install pyqt=4
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve._

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

  - pyqt=4

Current channels:

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

Do you have any recommendations on what to do here?

Ok, So I found that the environment is created when I use the following command conda config --set restore_free_channel true However when I try to activate the environment I receive another error:
