Hello Everyone,
I am new to Anaconda/Python environment and trying to set the connection in between Eikon data API to use it on Python via Jupyter Notebook. I will provide some background information as side notes below, however if you need further details please let me know.
Note: I am on corporate environment, but I am not sure whether the errors are related with any of the firewalls or other missteps that I have done through the process.
Note: I am using Anaconda 3 interface and my Python version is 3.8.5 (however I also tried installing older versions of Python such as 3.7.4, but still got the errors).
So, I followed the instructions on the Eikon quick start webpage: https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/api-catalog/eikon/eikon-data-api/quick-start/quickstart-guide-for-windows
It was instructed to download the Eikon module on python using "pip install eikon" command. Yet, whenever I try to use this command (pip install <module name>), I got below/or similar errors:
--------Error on Prompt----------

----------------------------------
Then I decided to download and install the Eikon module by "conda install eikon" command. It seems the latest version of module (Eikon 1.1.10) is installed, it appears in the conda list as:
# Name Version Build Channel
eikon 1.1.10 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge
Given that I thought it is installed, I tried some examples from the codebook on jupyter notebook, to see if it is working. It seems my app key is working. However, I am getting below error on notebook, even for the simplest codes:

I tried with several other codes (both from instructions and codebook examples), but the errors that I shared above from the Jupyter notebook still exist. Also for the prompt window, I am not able to use any command related with "pip".
Could you please help me to diagnose and solve the above issues? Thank you so much for your time and help in advance!
