Answer 1

To answer your multiple questions

1. "distributed 1.21.8 requires msgpack" This error has nothing to do with plotly installation. Its due to the way anaconda is installed

2. The error will not affect installation/upgrades of any of the packages.

3. "pip install msgpack does not fix the problem" .It will not fix until you try to install msgpack with user admin(Windows) / root(linux) right. I got this fixed on my Windows 10 & Lubuntu 16 with above mentioned solution
