I am trying to install Rdkit on ubuntu and I have problem with the conda configuration.

I have reinstalled anaconda3 and python3 versions on my desktop and installed it from the beginning.

When I run the command: conda create -c rdkit -n my-rdkit-env rdkit

The error I am experiencing is this one:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed

ProxyError: Conda cannot proceed due to an error in your proxy configuration.
Check for typos and other configuration errors in any '.netrc' file in your home directory,
any environment variables ending in '_PROXY', and any other system-wide proxy
configuration settings.

Does anybody knows how to solve this problem, so that I can install the program called Rdkit?

I had a similar error on my work machine. I'm on Windows 10.

For me, the fix was to add *.anaconda.org to my list of proxy exceptions under Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Advanced

Hope this helps.
