I can install pip packages inside IPython by writing !pip install name. I am however unable to do this with conda. The following example just gets stuck when executed in Jupyter Notebook !conda install -c anaconda pillow -y.
Anyone who can explain why?
There is a good post found here : https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2017/12/05/installing-python-packages-from-jupyter/
It talks about issues using conda within notebooks and suggests
import sys
!conda install --yes --prefix {sys.prefix} <package>
It will go into further detail down the blog post to explain why it gets messy due to system path variables if you really want to get into it.
