That has been successful. It has downgraded several packages, including NumPy. When I launched pyferret, however, I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/miniconda3/envs/FERRET/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyferret/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
from pyferret import libpyferret
ImportError: dlopen(/usr/local/miniconda3/envs/FERRET/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyferret/
libpyferret.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libfontconfig.1.dylib

I guess there is an incorrect dependency. The /usr/local/miniconda3/ directory tree includes only fontconfig-2.13.0 (but I don't know if that's the one pyferret depends on).
