For others who run into this situation, I found this to be the most straightforward solution:
-
Run
conda create -n venv_name
andconda activate venv_name
, wherevenv_name
is the name of your virtual environment. -
Run
conda install pip
. This will install pip to your venv directory. -
Find your anaconda directory, and find the actual venv folder. It should be somewhere like
/anaconda/envs/venv_name/
. -
Install new packages by doing
/anaconda/envs/venv_name/bin/pip install package_name
.
This should now successfully install packages using that virtual environment’s pip!
