Conda install does not install the latest version

[danieljacobsen-ai]

conda install botorch -c pytorch -c gpytorch installs botorch 0.6.2 on my win10.

conda install botorch=0.6.4 -c pytorch -c gpytorch (or 0.6.3) gives

"The following packages are not available from current channels:"

Is there some channel I need to add to allow Conda to actually install the latest version of Botorch?

Thanks.

conda install -c conda-forge botorch solves the problem.

Perhaps the installation instructions should be updated accordingly?

Thanks for flagging this! #1207 updates the instructions.

Hmm this is odd. Using the pytorch channel is the recommended way of installing botorch from conda (this is maintained by us, the conda-forge version is a copy). The conda package on the pytorch channel is up to date and a noarch package and so the fact that this is windows shouldn't really matter.

I see you mixed the order of the flags and the positional args - I don't think this should matter, but what happens if you do
conda install -c pytorch -c gpytorch botorch?

cc @saitcakmak who made the latest release.

This is strange. It is not working for me either, i.e., I cannot conda install botorch from the pytorch channel regardless of the version.

Looks like that was because I removed the gpytorch channel. With that in place, I can install 0.6.2 but nothing newer.

I think this might be because we need pyro-ppl since 0.6.3, which is only available on the conda-forge channel.
Doing conda install botorch==0.6.4 -c pytorch -c conda-forge works and installs botorch from pytorch channel and the rest from conda-forge.
