FAQs

How do you clean up the conda environment? ›

Conda clean is a command-line function that removes unused packages and caches from your Conda environment. It's a handy tool for freeing up disk space and keeping your Conda environment tidy. The command has several options, including -p to remove unused packages, -t to remove tarballs, and -a to remove everything.

The command used to remove a Conda environment is conda env remove --name env_name , where env_name is the name of the environment you want to remove. This command will delete the specified environment, along with all its associated packages and dependencies.

GitHub - ContinuumIO/anaconda-clean: removes configuration files that are left behind when uninstalling Anaconda.

By default, the package cache is in your home directory ($HOME/. conda/pkgs). If installing a large amount of software that may cause the home directory quota to be exceeded, you can configure another directory to be the package cache by adding a pkgs_dirs list to the $HOME/. condarc file.

Use the commands: rm -rf . conda and then rm . condarc . Delete all of the above conda code.

All created conda environments are in the Installed Conda Environments category. You can install either Data Science or published conda environments. All Installed Conda Environments are stored in your Block Volume in the /home/datascience/conda directory.

Uninstall a Python package

Open a terminal window. Use the command ' pip3 uninstall <package-name> '. Depending on how the package was installed, you may need to replace the pip3 command with the version of Pip that was used to originally install the package.

Select the Anaconda/Miniconda installation you want to uninstall. Click Uninstall. Complete the uninstall instructions that appear. (Optional) If you have created any environments outside your anaconda3 directory, you can manually delete them to increase available disc space on your computer.

How do you activate and deactivate the environment in Anaconda? ›

You activate (deactivate) an environment using the conda activate ( conda deactivate ) commands. You install packages into environments using conda install ; you install packages into an active environment using pip install . Use the conda env list command to list existing environments and their respective locations.

Reduce the index. One option for speeding up conda is to reduce the index. The index is reduced by conda based upon the user's input specs. It's likely that your repodata contains package data that is not used in the solving stage.

You can also use the anaconda-clean tool. Just open Terminal in your Mac and run these commands – conda install anaconda-clean and anaconda-clean or anaconda-clean –yes. To remove the entire Anaconda directory, you can run the command – rm -rf ~/anaconda3 in Terminal. To remove anaconda backups, run rm -rf ~/.

You can update all installed packages in a specific environment by using the --all tag. Using the --all flag unpins all the packages in the current environment and updates them to the latest version, if possible.
