When I try to install python packages like 'spyder' through the package manager in arcgis pro 2.2.2, it doesn't allow me to do so. The install button is greyed out. Any help?

From esri's end? No

From my end?  My students are installing packages with no incident on their machines using conda.

If you want to see a revision list you can use

(arcgispro-py3) C:\ArcGISPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3>conda list --revisions

2018-10-03 17:02:36  (rev 😎
     arcgispro  {2.2 (esri) -> 2.3 (esri)}
     mkl  {2018.0.3 -> 2018.0.3 (esri)}
     netcdf4  {1.4.1 -> 1.4.1 (esri)}
    +pkg-metadata-0.4.6 (esri)

or if you want to test an install without actually installing it you can use

conda install --dry-run

For example, if you want to update a package that you currently can't because the package manager is disabled you can use.

(arcgispro-py3) C:\ArcGISPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3>conda update scipy --dry-run
Fetching package metadata ...............
Solving package specifications: .
Package plan for installation in environment C:\ArcGISPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3:
The following packages will be UPDATED:
    scipy: 1.1.0-py36h672f292_0 --> 1.1.0-py36h4f6bf74_1

(arcgispro-py3) C:\ArcGISPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3>
Happy non-cloning

Perhaps making conda  less onerous will help

Just updated to 2.2.4 and the Python Package Manger > Add Packages > install button is still grayed out. I'm using workarounds to get by, but this bug has held on for three or four releases. When will this get fixed?
