Using Conda behind firewall

 To use conda behind firewall, in Windows: 1) Edit the .condarc channels: - defaults proxy_servers:   http: <proxy_host>:8080   https: <proxy_host>:8080 ssl_verify: False NOTE: Beware doing something like this: http: http://proxyhost:8080 https: http://proxyhost:8080 Don't add "http://" above, it's wrong! 2) Using pip (need to trust the hosts) pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org pandas Some other better methods exist, the above is just one of the options that works.
