Installing API without dependencies (--no-deps) failing

I'm trying to install a lightweight version of ArcGIS Python API using conda and Anaconda. The documentation states that using the `--no-deps` flag will lead to a ~50MB install.

When I try this on a windows 10 machine using Anaconda the install fails with the following:

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(732): An error occurred while installing package 'esri::arcgis-1.8.3-py38_1668'. Rolling back transaction: done LinkError: post-link script failed for package esri::arcgis-1.8.3-py38_1668 location of failed script: C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\envs\Arc183\Scripts\.arcgis-post-link.bat ==> script messages <== Manually uninstall any prior version of arcgis widget using: "jupyter nbextension uninstall arcgis --user" and "jupyter nbextension uninstall arcgis" '"C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\envs\Arc183\Scripts\jupyter-nbextension.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. '"C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\envs\Arc183\Scripts\jupyter-nbextension.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ==> script output <== stdout: jupyter nbextension command failed: map widgets in the jupyter notebook may not work, installation continuing... jupyter nbextension command failed: map widgets in the jupyter notebook may not work, installation continuing... stderr: return code: 9009

I have previously installed the recommended 6 packages and set the version of ArcGIS API to 1.8.3 as referenced in the article.

Adding jupyter_nbextensions and its dependencies inflates the total footprint of the environment up to ~750MB. This is too big for my purposes.

How can I keep this env size low?

Did you use the

conda install -c esri arcgis --no-deps

pip install arcgis --no-deps

I have had more success using pip install vs conda when it comes to anything involving the arcpy and/or arcgis packages since the dependency trail is hard to navigate

Thanks Dan, I've been trying with Conda but will give it a shot with pip.
