Machine Learning Basics won't install in Anaconda. "Resolved Package Not Found" error.

I'd like to do this tutorial. But I am stuck on the step where we try to open iris.csv because (apparently) the machine learning environment won't finish installing. Here's the error it throws:

ResolvePackageNotFound:

  • xz==5.2.3=h0278029_2
  • tk==8.6.7=h35a86e2_3

Can anyone out there help? Is there a new version of this file with the package needed? Do I need to update python? Thanks.

My answer to a previous question here:

"I ran into the same issue on Windows 10 as well. The enviroment.yml includes checksums for specific versions of the packages which are probably the OSX versions. Removing the checksums in a text editor fixes some but not all the errors, because not all packages have versions for every OS.

I've found the project will run just fine under the "base" environment which includes scikit-learn."

Yes, SciKit is installed. My week got busy fast but I will try again this weekend. Thanks very much.
