installing lalsuite to conda - package

Question

im trying to install lalsuite on conda https://github.com/conda-forge/lalsuite-feedstock
attempt 1 = conda-forge
(base) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda install -c conda-forge lalsuite

doesn't work + it states some packages aren't compatible but doesn't say which.
attempt 2 = messing with channels
(base) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda config --add channels conda-forge
(base) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda config --set channel_priority strict
(base) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda install lalsuite

result from 2 ,similar to 1.
attempt 3 = use conda forge as part of my create env command
(base) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda create -n gwe3 -c conda-forge -c lalsuite
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
UnavailableInvalidChannel: The channel is not accessible or is invalid.
channel name: lalsuite
channel url: https://conda.anaconda.org/lalsuite
error code: 404
You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.
Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state,
and use `conda config --show-sources` to view config file locations.
so i do what message said in attempt 3
(base) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda config --show channels
channels:
- conda-forge
- defaults
and no idea what to do next...
any idea how to install lalsuite? please?

update
attempt 4
I thought using conda install -c "conda-forge/label/cf202003" lalsuite would point specifically to a version, and so shouldn't fail. I got the link from here https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/lalsuite
however the output I get is
(wge3) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda install -c "conda-forge/label/cf202003" lalsuite

conda search confirms the package is there...
(wge4) C:\Users\jack.flavell>conda search lalsuite
Loading channels: done

why the bloody hell does this not work?
what does it want?
what more info might help answer
arrrrrgggghhhhh >:(
######## update 2
I was under the impression that anything on pypi can be downloaded with pip. like here https://pypi.org/project/lalsuite/.
Below is just in a regular cmd not using conda
C:\Users\jack.flavell>"C:\Users\jack.flavell\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\pip.exe" install lalsuite
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement lalsuite (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for lalsuite
WARNING: You are using pip version 20.1.1; however, version 22.2.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'c:\users\jack.flavell\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
... apparently not ...
should things be available on pip if i find them on pypi?
