CHEATSHEET

QUICK START
Tip: It is recommended to create a new environment for any new project or workflow.

verify conda install and check version conda info

update conda in base environment conda update -n base conda


install latest anaconda distribution
conda install anaconda=2022.05
(see release notes)
create a new environment
conda create --name ENVNAME
(tip: name environment descriptively)
activate environment
conda activate ENVNAME
(do this before installing packages)

CHANNELS AND PACKAGES


Tip: Package dependencies and platform specifics are automatically resolved when using conda.

list installed packages conda list

list installed packages with source info conda list --show-channel-urls

update all packages conda update --all

install a package from specific channel conda install -c CHANNELNAME PKG1 PKG2

install specific version of package conda install PKGNAME=3.1.4

install a package from specific channel conda install CHANNELNAME::PKGNAME

install package with AND logic conda install “PKGNAME>2.5,<3.2”

install package with OR logic conda install “PKGNAME [version=’2.5|3.2’]”

uninstall package conda uninstall PKGNAME

view channel sources conda config --show-sources

add channel conda config --add channels CHANNELNAME


set default channel for pkg fetching
conda config --set channel_priority strict
(targets first channel in channel sources)

WORKING WITH CONDA ENVIRONMENTS


Tip: List environments at the beginning of your session. Environments with an asterisk are active.

list all environments and locations conda env list

list all packages + source channels conda list -n ENVNAME --show-channel-urls

install packages in environment conda install -n ENVNAME PKG1 PKG2

remove package from environment conda uninstall PKGNAME -n ENVNAME

update all packages in environment conda update --all -n ENVNAME


CHEATSHEET
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
Tip: Specifying the environment name confines conda commands to that environment.

create environment with Python version conda create -n ENVNAME python=3.10

clone environment conda create --clone ENVNAME -n NEWENV

rename environment conda rename -n ENVNAME NEWENVNAME

delete environment by name conda remove -n ENVNAME --all

list revisions made to environment conda list -n ENVNAME --revisions

restore environment to a revision conda install -n ENVNAME --revision NUMBER

uninstall package from specific channel conda remove -n ENVNAME -c CHANNELNAME PKGNAME

EXPORTING ENVIRONMENTS
Recommendation: Name the export file “environment.” Environment name will be preserved.

cross-platform compatible conda env export --from-history>ENV.yml

platform + package specific conda env export ENVNAME>ENV.yml

platform + package + channel specific conda list --explicit>ENV.txt

IMPORTING ENVIRONMENTS
Tip: When importing an environment, conda resolves platform and package specifics.

from a .yml file conda env create -n ENVNAME --file ENV.yml

from a .txt file conda create -n ENVNAME --file ENV.txt

ADDITIONAL HINTS
get help for any command conda COMMAND --help

get info for any package conda search PKGNAME --info


run commands w/o user prompt conda COMMAND ARG --yes
eg, installing multiple packages conda install PKG1 PKG2 --yes
remove all unused files conda clean --all

examine conda configuration conda config --show
