How to install packages in conda that are not available in anaconda

I want to install a package (of python) using conda, but says not available in repo.anaconda.com/......., how could I install it ?

The specific package that I tried to install is edx-dl (link of the github repo) using the code conda install edx-dl. This code works fine with pip but not with conda.

For example, in pip if I type pip install edx-dl was able to install the package when I was using python base without anaconda. But now with conda it says it is not available in anaconda repo. So if a package that are not available in anaconda, can be installed?

So to generalize, is there any way to download and install packages of python using conda which are not available in repo.anaconda.com?

Note that, I do not use base python, rather currently using anaconda. So, can't use pip to install that package.

Thanks!
