• conda list [packagename], search the installed version of a package

conda search [packagename], search availabe package from repository

conda --version, check conda version

conda install

• conda install [packagename], install a specific package
• conda install scipy=0.15.0, install a specific version of scipy
• conda install scipy=0.15.0 curl=7.26.0 -n py34_env, install packages for a specific python version
• conda install [packagename] -c [channelname], install a package from a specific channel

conda remove

• conda remove [packagename], remove a package in the current environment
• conda remove -n [environmentname] [packagename], remove a package in a specific environment

conda repository

• conda list --explicit, list the reposiotories including the installed packages
• conda config --add channels conda-forge, add a repository

conda update [packagename], update a package to the current version

conda clean, remove all unused packages in a conda virtual environment

conda create

• conda create --name [environmentname] [packagename], create an environment and install specific package
• conda create --name [environmentname] anaconda=1.4.0 python=2.7 numpy=1.6, manage python version, anaconda version, and package version
• conda create --name [environmentname] python=2.7, create an empty conda environment

conda remove --name [environmentname] --all, remove an environment

source activate [environmentname], active a specific environment on Mac and Linux

• activate [environmentname], on Windows

source deactivate, deactivate the current environment on Mac and Linux

conda info --envs (conda env list), list all the environments

conda env export --file SOME_FILE, export the environment to a file

conda env create -n [environmentname] -f=[SOME_FILE], create an environment based on an environment file

Install Ipython Notebook

• conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
• conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
• conda install ipython-notebook, install ipython in an environment, otherwise "ipython notebook" will launch using base environment
• pip install jupyter

1. source activate [environmentname], switch to a specific environment
2. conda install pip, install pip in the environment
3. pip install [packagename], install packages
