Installing packages through Anaconda?

[Athenaeum]

I have successfully installed the pandas package via Anaconda. At first, I was only able to use pandas when I opened Python via Anaconda. After playing around with it for a bit, I was able to install it such that I can now import pandas and use it without ever having to open Anaconda. I could be wrong, but I think I remember using the command below to install it via cmd:

1	py -m pip install pandas

I have tried to install two other packages that came with Anaconda (statsmodels and scipy) via the same method and neither works. I can use both packages, but only if I open python via Anaconda. I would like to be able to use all Anaconda packages without having to access Python through it. Do you have any idea on how to achieve this?

I would copy and paste the error message, but it is several lines long and I am not sure how to copy Python output to clipboard.

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

which os?
your path most likely points to the Anaconda install.
if so, you will need to use full path to pip of the non anaconda python.
pip resides in the scripts directory.

I have successfully installed the pandas package via Anaconda.

Pandas comes with anaconda,so there is no need to install it only update.

I would like to be able to use all Anaconda packages without having to access Python through it. Do you have any idea on how to achieve this?

Anaconda is a stand alone system and can not be used trough OS installed Python.
To take a little about it on Windows,it comes with Navigator and own command line Prompt.
When you install or update in anaconda you use conda
Example conda install requests.
If i start Anaconda Prompt:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

I have ordinary Python 3.6 as main OS version,but that is not used at all in demo over.

I do not want to install or update anything inside Anaconda. What I want to do is use the packages that came with Anaconda within my OS-installed version of Python 3.6 that is separate and outside of Anaconda. I have managed to do this with pandas somehow (and stupidly neglected to remember/record the code I used to do it) via the command prompt. I would like to do it with other packages as well.

I am using Windows 10.

You did not say which operating system you are using.

I'm not familiar with statsmodels, but scipy needs to be compiled as well as dependancies installed first.

As to copying the error code, the command terminals usually have an option menu accessed by clicking the icon in the upper left corner, this should include an Edit submenu.

I managed to copy and paste the command prompt error message (when trying to install scipy) below. If you don't want to dig through all of it then I completely understand.
I tried the same command as before, except scipy in place of pandas:

1	py -m pip install pandas

which os?
your path most likely points to the Anaconda install.
if so, you will need to use full path to pip of the non anaconda python.
pip resides in the scripts directory.

Can you please elaborate on path? I assume you mean the filepath for the package I'm trying to install...how do I change the filepath for this?
