07/10/2023, 8:23 PMis env1 a conda environment?
Jeff Hale
07/10/2023, 8:23 PMHow do you usually install Python packages?

Maurreen Skowran
07/10/2023, 8:25 PMYes, env1 is a conda environment.
Actually, I don't generally work with Python.
I had tried to install Prefect earlier, and I got this:
(base) C:\Users\maurreen.skowran>prefect version
Access is denied.
