How to make a Catkin_ws using anaconda?
Im having an issue using the Catkin_make function when using anaconda.
I tried installing ROS-melodic desktop full and follow the installation guide and setup of the catkin_ws when using python as on the official site. However it says that it can't locate the package "catkin_pkg".
I then tried updating, installing it getting it any way i can. It seems to me that either catkin_pkg can't be found by anaconda or something. I also tried uninstalling ROS, creating an ananconda enviroment for ROS, then installing ROS there and following all the same steps. Again same error.
I made sure i got the correct path and all, the PYTHON path. which was in my env folder, then bin.

And then it says that catkin doesn't get installed or updated because of a missing dependency. Althought i have installed it.
