gTTS package installation using anaconda on windows

I am creating my own chatbot and so I need the gTTS package but I can not install it with conda on windows, every time the installation ends with a failure.

I tried:conda install gTTS

and also: conda install -c conda-forge gTTS

The result:

Solving environment: failed
PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels: - gtts
Current channels: - - - - - - - - - .... - ....

conda install -c tdido gtts-token

This works on Python3.4

On the anaconda website, it says that gtts is only available for download on Linux, so I don't think you can use gtts with conda on Windows.

You have the option of using Linux, or installing from pip.

What you could do is install pip in your conda virtual environment. However, using pip and conda together might cause problems, so it is best to create a new conda virtual environment if possible to install pip and gtts.

1. Create a virtual environment using conda create --name pip_env
2. Open it using conda activate pip_env of source activate pip_env
3. In a new virtual environment, use conda install pip to install pip
4. Then use pip install gtts
5. To double-check that it has been installed, use conda list in pip_env to look for gtts.
