Conda/bioconda install diamond -CondaSSLError: Encountered an SSL error. Most likely a certificate verification issue.

[peiyilu168]

I'm trying to install diamond via bioconda following the instructions on the wiki. I have created a new conda environment and then used:

conda install -c bioconda -c conda-forge diamond

And I get this error

CondaSSLError: Encountered an SSL error. Most likely a certificate verification issue.

Channels:
 - bioconda
 - conda-forge
 - defaults
Platform: win-64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): failed

CondaSSLError: Encountered an SSL error. Most likely a certificate verification issue.

Exception: [SSL] record layer failure (_ssl.c:2637)

Does anyone know how to solve the issue?

https://anaconda.org/bioconda/diamond / Bioconda does not provide win-64 builds.
I would expect an error saying "Not found".
Maybe you use old version of conda ?!
