Pygmt cannot be upgraded to the latest version

Q&A PyGMT Q&A
#1

Hi everyone, I am new to PyGmt, I installed pyGmt with conda today, but the version number is 0.3, I found the latest version is 0.6. I also tried to update pygmt with conda update -c conda-forge pygmt, but the updated version is still 0.3. How can I upgrade to the latest version, thanks a lot.
The version information is as follows.

Hmm, could you try conda install -c conda-forge pygmt=0.6.1?

If that doesn’t work, try copying and pastng the output message you get, or show us the output of conda list. Maybe you have a dependency that is in conflict with higher pygmt versions.

thanks a lot, it works

Can I update my previously installed pygmt? Suppose I’ve installed 0.7 version but now 0.9 is available. How can I update it?
