ArcGIS Pro integrating Anaconda using SciPy and Scikit-learn

Question

Good Afternoon,

One of our customers is integrating Machine Learning with ArcGIS Pro and has a couple of questions regarding integration of Anaconda Machine Learning  and specific python libraries.

Our customer is trying to use the following libraries, however it does not seem to be compatible, they are...
- SciPy 
- Scikit-learn
Is anyone able to integrate these two libraries with ArcGIS Pro? Also, does anyone have experience with setting up Anaconda Machine Learning in ArcGIS Pro?

esri has provided documentation.

You have to use their installs first, not the other way around

I use scipy etc all the time so I suspect they are trying to update their own anaconda setup,

Tell them to have a read for requirements, packages and examples

Can you elaborate?  I am using arcgis pro 2.8.2, and Scipy1.6.2 is installed already.  The package manager provides Scikit-learn (several versions), but my preference is to use a conda install for packages.
