ProxyError: Conda cannot proceed due to an error in your proxy configuration.

11 min read

This error occurs when Conda, a package manager used in Python programming, is unable to proceed due to issues with the proxy configuration.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check your internet connection: Ensure that you have a stable internet connection and can access websites from your browser.

  2. Review proxy settings: If you are using a proxy server, verify that the proxy settings are correctly configured. You can do this by going to your system's network settings or through your browser's proxy settings.

  3. Disable proxy: If you are not using a proxy server, it's possible that the proxy configuration is interfering with Conda. In this case, you can try disabling the proxy temporarily. Again, you can do this through your system's network settings or browser settings.

  4. Set proxy environment variables: If you are using a proxy server and it's correctly configured, you may need to set the proxy environment variables for Conda. Open a command prompt or terminal and enter the following commands, replacing your_proxy_address and your_proxy_port with the appropriate values:

    • For Windows:

      set HTTP_PROXY=http://your_proxy_address:your_proxy_port
      set HTTPS_PROXY=http://your_proxy_address:your_proxy_port
      
    • For macOS/Linux:

      export HTTP_PROXY=http://your_proxy_address:your_proxy_port
      export HTTPS_PROXY=http://your_proxy_address:your_proxy_port
      

    Try running Conda again after setting the environment variables.

  5. Contact your network administrator: If you are using Conda in a corporate environment, it's possible that there are additional network restrictions or firewall settings that need to be adjusted. Contact your network administrator for assistance in configuring the proxy settings correctly.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to provide more specific details about your proxy configuration and environment for further assistance.
