@twiecki, what if mkl and other dependencies are installed using conda-forge before, and then pymc3 installation is done using pip (as suggested in Installation Guide (Windows) · pymc-devs/pymc3 Wiki · GitHub). Would you recommend using just conda or, if the dependencies are already installed via conda, pip could be used for an efficient setup?
I’m asking that because this procedure (conda for dependencies, then pip) was the only one that seemed to work cleanly for me while doing a environment setup in Windows 10. Using only conda-forge implied in some warnings related to BLAS.
@Jym0502, btw, I think you should try the procedure described in Installation Guide (Windows) · pymc-devs/pymc3 Wiki · GitHub for creating a fresh new enviroment config.
