The Python package manager is a not run from with the Python REPL. It’s command line application you’d run from the command prompt of your operating system shell.

You might need to check the pip documentation for how to install it on your operating system if it not installed yet.

Anaconda is a virtual environment. If you install swat there it will not stay like you want. You can do it:

Run conda create -n venv_name and source activate venv_name, where venv_name is the name of your virtual environment.
Run conda install pip. This will install pip to your venv directory.
At this point you have two versions of pip installed; a global version and a version specific to your virtual environment. If you try to run pip install 'package_name' you’ll use the global version, which will install the package outside your virtual environment.
Find your anaconda directory, and find the actual venv folder. It should be somewhere like /anaconda/envs/venv_name/.
Install new packages by doing /anaconda/envs/venv_name/bin/pip install package_name.
so:
1. conda create -n my_swat
2. source activate my_swat
3. conda install pip
4. /anaconda/envs/my_swat/bin/pip install https://github.com/sassoftware/python-swat/releases/download/v1.5.0/python-swat-1.5.0-win64.tar.gz

This should now successfully install packages using that virtual environment's pip. But if you want this for all of python, go to the OS prompt and use pip from there.

So sorry I missed your post.

As I am sure you already know you can fix this by adding the following in your pip.ini:

trusted-host = pypi.python.org pypi.org files.pythonhosted.org

or by using

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org PyHamCrest

You can list all of your conda environments with:

conda env list

Note the * shows the current active environment.
