ride-channels] [-n ENVIRONMENT | -p PATH] [-q] [--copy]
[--alt-hint] [--update-dependencies] [--no-update-dependencies]

nel-urls] [--no-show-channel-urls] [--json] [--debug] [--ver-
bose] [package_spec [package_spec ...]]
Installs a list of packages into a specified conda environment.
This command accepts a list of package specifications (e.g, bitar-
ray=0.8) and installs a set of packages consistent with those specifi-
cations and compatible with the underlying environment. If full compat-
ibility cannot be assured, an error is reported and the environment is
not changed.
Conda attempts to install the newest versions of the requested pack-
ages. To accomplish this, it may update some packages that are already
installed, or install additional packages. To prevent existing packages
from updating, use the --no-update-deps option. This may force conda to
install older versions of the requested packages, and it does not pre-
vent additional dependency packages from being installed.
If you wish to skip dependency checking altogether, use the '--force'
option. This may result in an environment with incompatible packages,
so this option must be used with great caution.
conda can also be called with a list of explicit conda package file-
names (e.g. ./lxml-3.2.0-py27_0.tar.bz2). Using conda in this mode
implies the --force option, and should likewise be used with great cau-
tion. Explicit filenames and package specifications cannot be mixed in
a single command.
OPTIONS
positional arguments:
package_spec
Packages to install into the conda environment.
optional arguments:
-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
--revision REVISION
Revert to the specified REVISION.
-y, --yes
Do not ask for confirmation.
--dry-run
Only display what would have been done.
-f, --force
Force install (even when package already installed), implies
--no-deps.
--file FILE
Read package versions from the given file. Repeated file speci-
fications can be passed (e.g. --file=file1 --file=file2).
--no-deps
Do not install dependencies.
-m, --mkdir
Create the environment directory if necessary.
--use-index-cache
Use cache of channel index files.
--use-local
Use locally built packages.
--offline
Offline mode, don't connect to the Internet.
--no-pin
Ignore pinned file.
-c CHANNEL, --channel CHANNEL
Additional channel to search for packages. These are URLs
searched in the order they are given (including file:// for
local directories). 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, and 'system'
to get the system packages, which also takes .condarc into
account. You can also use any name and the .condarc chan-
nel_alias value will be prepended. The default channel_alias is
http://conda.anaconda.org/.
--override-channels
Do not search default or .condarc channels. Requires --channel.
-n ENVIRONMENT, --name ENVIRONMENT
Name of environment (in root prefix/envs
:/Users/wwarner/.conda/envs).
-p PATH, --prefix PATH
Full path to environment prefix (default: default prefix).
-q, --quiet
Do not display progress bar.
--copy Install all packages using copies instead of hard- or soft-link-
ing.
--alt-hint
Use an alternate algorithm to generate an unsatisfiability hint.
--update-dependencies, --update-deps
Update dependencies (default: True).
--no-update-dependencies, --no-update-deps
Don't update dependencies (default: False).
--channel-priority, --channel-pri, --chan-pri
Channel priority takes precedence over package version (default:
True). Note: This feature is in beta and may change in a future
release.
--no-channel-priority, --no-channel-pri, --no-chan-pri
Package version takes precedence over channel priority (default:
False). Note: This feature is in beta and may change in a future
release.
--show-channel-urls
Show channel urls (default: None).
--no-show-channel-urls
Don't show channel urls.
--json Report all output as json. Suitable for using conda programmati-
cally.
--debug
Show debug output.
--verbose, -v
Use once for info, twice for debug, three times for trace.

conda install -n myenv scipy
