Conda is installing a very old version of pytorch-lightning

I tried installing pytorch lightning by runnning:

conda install -c conda-forge pytorch-lightning

as described here: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pytorch-lightning This link seems updated to version 1.6.5

However, when I run this command, an old version of pytorch-lightning is installed, as can be seen here:

As you can see, version 0.8.5 is being installed. Is there a way for me to use conda and get a newer version of pytorch-lightning?

Things I have tried:

1. updating conda
2. using both linux and windows

Answer

The problem was solved by launching a new conda environment. Apparently there were some conflicting pre installed dependencies.
