It isn't available from the default conda channels (or anywhere else that I can find). You should follow their installation instructions.

Conda does not offer it for Windows to be precise, only for Unix. In any case you should consider using an Unix-based system for bioinformatics, as it saves you from a lot of compatability trouble such as this one.

Windows 10 PC to be precise.
