I have been trying to install pymc for some time on a Windows PC behind a very complicated proxy; effectively making this an installation on a computer not connected to the internet. I have tried - unsuccessfully - to set a proxy in the condarc file but I still get error messages
conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/pymc pymc Fetching package metadata: SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645)
To solve this, you need to download the tar file (even if using Windows) that the installer is trying to fetch and then use offline mode:
Use this command (which will throw an error), to determine the file to be downloaded:
>conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/pymc pymc
Fetching package metadata: SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645)

Now download the tar file mentioned in the error message:
https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/win-64/pymc-2.3.5-np110py35_0.tar.bz2
And then run this command with the path to the tar file:
>conda install --offline C:\pymc-2.3.5-np110py35_0.tar.bz2
