How to install textract on Anaconda (Windows 10)?

Question

I'm trying to install Anaconda on Windows but I'm having the following errors:

Error messages:

(base) C:\Users\vinay>**conda install -c conda-forge textract**

Solving environment: **failed**

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  **- textract**

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/win-64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're looking for, navigate to https://anaconda.org and use the search bar at the top of the page.

Did you tried installing through pip? https://pypi.org/project/textract/

pip install textract

I was running into the same problems. I believe that it's because we're using a Windows 64-bit edition, which isn't supported for the anaconda install, as shown below:

As you can see, it only supports win-32. I'm also installing it via the pip install textract route as well.
