Greetings - Im having some difficulty installing a supporting package ‘CDO’ ([Cdo :: Anaconda.org](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/cdo)) from the respository. I appear to have the conda-forge channel listed in my channels list. But if try any of the install command lines listed on the CDO page i get the following error:

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated - Im somewhat new to Anaconda.

Thank you Steve

Current channels:  
I had to remove the channels list as the forum only allows for 2 links in my posting.

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you’re  
looking for, navigate to

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

Howdy!

Do you happen to have your `anaconda-platform-anaconda-platform.yml` or `.condarc` files available?

It sounds very likely that something in your environment wasn’t updated to reflect the usage of the conda-forge channel.
