Create a new conda environment from a list of specified packages
Arguments
Name
Description
package_spec
Packages to install or update in the conda environment
Options
Name
Description
--clone <arg>
Path to (or name of) existing local environment
--file <arg>
Read package versions from the given file. Repeated file specifications can be passed (e.g. --file=file1 --file=file2)
--dev
Use sys.executable -m conda in wrapper scripts instead of CONDA_EXE. This is mainly for use during tests where we test new conda source against old Python versions
-n, --name <Environment>
Name of environment
-p, --prefix <path>
Full path to environment location (i.e. prefix)
-c, --channel <arg>
They are given (including local directories using the 'file://' syntax or simply a path like '/home/conda/mychan' or '../mychan'). Then, the defaults or channels from .condarc are searched (unless --override-channels is given). You can use 'defaults' to get the default packages for conda. You can also use any name and the .condarc channel_alias value will be prepended. The default channel_alias is http://conda.anaconda.org/
--use-local
Use locally built packages. Identical to '-c local'
--override-channels
Do not search default or .condarc channels. Requires --channel
--repodata-fn <arg>
Specify name of repodata on remote server. Conda will try whatever you specify, but will ultimately fall back to repodata.json if your specs are not satisfiable with what you specify here. This is used to employ repodata that is reduced in time scope. You may pass this flag more than once. Leftmost entries are tried first, and the fallback to repodata.json is added for you automatically
--strict-channel-priority
Packages in lower priority channels are not considered if a package with the same name appears in a higher priority channel
--no-channel-priority
Package version takes precedence over channel priority. Overrides the value given by conda config --show channel_priority
--no-deps
Dangerous 💥
--only-deps
Only install dependencies
--no-pin
Ignore pinned file
--no-default-packages
Ignore create_default_packages in the .condarc file
--copy
Install all packages using copies instead of hard- or soft-linking
-C, --use-index-cache
Use cache of channel index files, even if it has expired
-k, --insecure
Allow conda to perform insecure SSL connections and transfers. Equivalent to setting 'ssl_verify' to 'false'
--offline
Offline mode. Don't connect to the Internet
-d, --dry-run
Only display what would have been done
--json
Report all output as json. Suitable for using conda programmatically
-q, --quiet
Do not display progress bar
-v, --verbose
Repeatable ♾
-y, --yes
Do not ask for confirmation
--download-only
Solve an environment and ensure package caches are populated, but exit prior to unlinking and linking packages into the prefix
--show-channel-urls
Show channel urls. Overrides the value given by conda config --show show_channel_urls
