You can list all current existing environments with the command: You can create an environment based on exact package versions using a text file with the command:Ĭonda create -name ENV_NAME -file packages.txt You can create an exact copy of an existing environment with the command:Ĭonda create -clone ENV_NAME -name NEW_ENV yml file with the command:Ĭonda env export -name ENV_NAME > envname.yml You can export a current environment to a. yml file is in the current directory, you can use the command: You can create a conda environment from a.

If you need another version of Anaconda that is not listed above, you will have to compile it yourself.

If you need a package that requires a different version of Python, you do not need to switch to a different environment manager because conda is also an environment manager. It was created for Python programs but it can package and distribute software for any language.Ĭonda as a package manager helps you find and install packages. Conda easily creates, saves, loads, and switches between environments on your local computer. Conda quickly installs, runs, and updates packages and their dependencies. Conda is an open-source package management system and environment management system.
