pgmpy build error Anaconda Windows

Question

When installing `pgmpy on Anaconda under Windows, using these instructions, I get

Installing coverage-3.5-script.py script to C:\Users\idf\Anaconda3\Scripts

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 2: invalid start byte

C:\Users\idf\Downloads\pgmpy>

I might need to do:

conda create -n pgmpy-env python=3.4
source activate pgmpy-env

But then I get this error:

C:\Users\idf>source activate pgmpy-env
'source' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\idf>

So it seems these instructions assume Linux?

Answer 1

Don't use source on Windows. Just type:

activate pgmpy-env

source is only needed on Linux and Mac OS X.
