A conda environment is a separate and isolated working space that allows you to have different versions of Python or other packages installed on your system without affecting the other environments. You can use conda environments to easily switch between different projects that have different package requirements.
To create a new conda environment with Python, you can use the following command:
conda create --name my_env python=3.9This will create a new conda environment called "my_env". To activate this environment, you can use the following command:
conda activate my_envOnce the environment is activated, you can use the conda command to install packages into the environment, for example:
conda install numpyYou can also use pip to install Python packages within the isolated environment.
This will install the numpy package into the environment. To deactivate the environment, you can use the following command:
conda deactivateAnd to delete the environment, you can use the following command:
conda env remove --name my_envThis will remove the "my_env" environment from your system.
To install Miniconda on Linux, you can follow these steps:
Open a terminal and download the Miniconda installer by running the following command:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.shMake the downloaded shell script executable by running the following command:
chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.shRun the installer by using the following command:
./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.shFollow the instructions in the installer to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Miniconda has been installed successfully by running the conda command in the terminal. This should display the list of available conda commands. You can also use the conda --version command to check the version of Miniconda that you have installed.
