I believe I have miniconda installed correctly. I left the default config files, and I'm using the base environment.
When I try to do a search on the free repo, I get the following:
(base) bash-4.3# conda search p*
Loading channels: failed
CondaHTTPError: HTTP 401 UNAUTHORIZED for url <https://condaserver.rocketsoftware.com/api/repo/zoss
Elapsed: 00:01.360496
The remote server has indicated you are using invalid credentials for this channel.
If the remote site is anaconda.org or follows the Anaconda Server API, you
will need to
(a) remove the invalid token from your system with `anaconda logout`, optionally
followed by collecting a new token with `anaconda login`, or
(b) provide conda with a valid token directly.
Further configuration help can be found at <https://conda.io/docs/config.html>.
