Caution

You might not be able to use conda to update or install packages beyond what is included in the Anaconda Distribution version you’ve installed. This is because Anaconda Distribution provides a static bundle of packages from the time of release, but the repository continues to be updated over time. Older package versions may be removed or replaced, and the versions present in the repository might not be compatible with your operating system. For package lists for each version of Anaconda Distribution, see the Anaconda Distribution release notes.
