| | * **Export the description of an environment** (as a checkpoint, or to replicate the environment somewhere else) |
| | * There are lots of [[https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/stable/commands/export.html#|export options]] available, but we recommend the following combination of options. |
| | * The options used below will create a text file ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML|YAML]] format) listing the names of the Python packages that were installed with ''conda install -n existing_environment_name package_name''. This file does not specify the packages' version and their dependencies and can be used later to easily reproduce an environment (using the latest available version of the requested packages) |
| | * ''conda export -n existing_environment_name %%--%%format yml %%--%%from-history -f some_path/existing_environment_yyyy-mm-dd.yml'' |
| | * Windows example:\\ ''conda export -n base %%--%%format yml %%--%%from-history -f C:\Users\your_login\Desktop\base_yyyy-mm-dd.yml'' |
| | * The environment can later be replicated (with the latest version of the requested packages) with:\\ ''conda env create -n existing_environment_clone -f some_path/existing_environment_yyyy-mm-dd.yml'' |
| | * <wrap hi>''pip'' WARNING!</wrap> |
| | * ''conda export'' will only export information about packages installed with ''conda install''. You should also check if you have installed packages with ''pip'' in your environment, and write it down... |
| | * Linux/Mac example: |
| | * <code>(base) > conda list -n test_env | grep pypi |
| | sbck 1.4.0 pypi_0 pypi |
| | xsbck 1.0.0 pypi_0 pypi |
| | (base) > conda list -n test_env | grep pypi > some_path/test_env_pypi_yyyy-mm-dd.txt</code> |
| | * Windows example: |
| | * <code>(base) PS C:\> conda list -n test_env | findstr pypi |
| | brotli 1.1.0 pypi_0 pypi |
| | (base) PS C:\> conda list -n test_env | findstr pypi > C:\Users\your_login\Desktop\test_env_pypi_yyyy-mm-dd.txt</code> |
