Hi there,

I have created a new environment wradlib and trying to install wradlib in that environment from anaconda prompt. But it throws me the following error.

Python version: 3.9.13

Hi Sandeep,

that specific question is only partly related to wradlib and openradar. The right forum to ask conda-related questions is [https://conda.discourse.group](https://conda.discourse.group).

I would look into this thread: [Updated to 4.14.0 via `conda update...` - new OpenSSL unavailable message · Issue #11795 · conda/conda · GitHub](https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11795)
