CONDA(1)                         User Commands                        CONDA(1)




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       -o, --outdated
              Only display installed but outdated packages.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
