NAME
conda - conda search
DESCRIPTION
usage: conda search [-h] [-n ENVIRONMENT | -p PATH] [--canonical] [-f]
[--names-only] [--use-index-cache] [-o]
[--platform {win-32,win-64,osx-64,linux-32,linux-64}] [--spec]
[--reverse-dependency] [--offline] [-c CHANNEL] [--over-
ride-channels] [--json] [--debug] [--verbose] [--use-local] [-k]
[regex]
Search for packages and display their information. The input is a
Python regular expression. To perform a search with a search string
that starts with a -, separate the search from the options with --,
like 'conda search -- -h'.
A * in the results means that package is installed in the current envi-
ronment. A . means that package is not installed but is cached in the
pkgs directory.
OPTIONS
positional arguments:
regex Package specification or Python regular expression to search for
(default: display all packages).
optional arguments:
-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
-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).
--canonical
Output canonical names of packages only.
-f, --full-name
Only search for full name, ie. ^<regex>$.
--names-only
Output only package names.
--use-index-cache
Use cache of channel index files.
-o, --outdated
Only display installed but outdated packages.
--platform {win-32,win-64,osx-64,linux-32,linux-64}
Search the given platform. Should be formatted like 'osx-64',
'linux-32', 'win-64', and so on. The default is to search the
current platform.
--spec Treat the regex argument as a package specification instead
(package_name[=version[=build]]).
--reverse-dependency
Perform a reverse dependency search. When using this flag, the
--full-name flag is recommended. Use 'conda info package' to see
the dependencies of a package.
--offline
Offline mode, don't connect to the Internet.
-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.
--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.
--use-local
Use locally built packages.
-k, --insecure
Allow conda to perform "insecure" SSL connections and trans-
fers.Equivalent to setting 'ssl_verify' to 'false'.
EXAMPLES
Search for packages with 'scikit' in the name:
conda search scikit
Search for the 'python' package (but no other packages that have
'python' in the name):
conda search -f python
Search for packages for 64-bit Linux (by default, packages for your
current platform are shown):
conda search --platform linux-64
