Scikit-Learn Not Properly Updating in IPython

Question

I am attempting to update scikit-learn within IPython to version 0.14 from 0.13 using the following command in the IPython shell:

!pip install scikit-learn --update

Everything appears to be updating, but when I look at the pip log I see the below (I would appreciate any insight):

 Rolling back uninstall of scikit-learn

Answer 1

You are using anaconda so you should use the conda commandline (conda update scikit-learn) to update Anaconda packages instead of pip.
