How to install cvxopt on on windows 10 on python 3.6

How do I install cvxopt on windows 10 on python 3.6?

When running 

conda install cvxopt

Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: .

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - cvxopt -> python 3.5*
  - python 3.6*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

I apologize i am on windows...

Any ideas?

Solution

  • After much trial and error, I found that we need to install both the numpy+mkl package and the appropriate cvxopt from:

    http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

    Download the file, then do the following:

    1) in a command line go to the downloads folder

    2) pip install "numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"

    3) pip install "cvxopt-1.1.9-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"
