Notes on Conda

Conda is a powerful package manager and environment manager that you use with command line commands at the Anaconda Prompt for Windows, or in a Terminal window for macOS or Linux.

Common Commands:
a. To see a list of all your environments, type:
conda info --envs

$conda info --envs
# conda environments:
#
base                  *  /Users/Shravan/anaconda3
WASBuild                 /Users/Shravan/anaconda3/envs/WASBuild
casestudy1               /Users/Shravan/anaconda3/envs/casestudy1

b. Check the packages  installed in casestudy1
First you can switch to casestudy1 environment by doing this:
$source activate casestudy1

Then list the installed packages by using this:
$conda list

To return back to base env, do this:
$source deactivate

c. Create a new environment deeplearning using casestudy1 as a template:
$ conda create --clone casestudy1 --name deeplearning
Source:      /Users/Shravan/anaconda3/envs/casestudy1
Destination: /Users/Shravan/anaconda3/envs/deeplearning
Packages: 110
Files: 38

#
# To activate this environment, use
#
#     $ conda activate deeplearning
#
# To deactivate an active environment, use
#
#     $ conda deactivate

d. Create a conda environment from .yml file
conda env create -f cvcourse_macos.yml
