Installing conda packages¶
For more information about using the conda package manager in a Terminal or Anaconda Prompt, see the conda documentation.
You can also use the graphical interface Anaconda Navigator to install conda packages with just a few clicks.
Open an Anaconda Prompt (Windows) or Terminal window (macOS or Linux) and do the following:
Installing a conda package¶
Enter the command:
conda install package-name
NOTE: Replace package-name
with your package name.
Installing specific versions of conda packages¶
Include the desired version number or its prefix after the package name:
conda install package-name=2.3.4
NOTE: Replace package-name
with your package name. Replace
2.3.4
with the desired version number.
To specify only a major version, run:
conda install package-name=2
NOTE: Replace package-name
with your package name. Replace
2
with the desired version number.
These commands install into the environment that is currently active. To install into a named environment, run:
conda install package-name=2.3.4 -n some-environment
NOTE: Replace package-name
with your package name. Replace
2.3.4
with the desired version number. Replace
some-environment
with your environment name.
If the package is specific to a Python version, conda uses the version installed in the current or named environment. For details on versions, dependencies and channels, see Conda FAQ and Conda Troubleshooting.
Installing packages on a non-networked (air gapped) computer¶
To directly install a conda package from your local computer, run:
conda install /package-path/package-filename.tar.bz2
NOTE: Replace package-path
and package-filename.tar.bz2
with your actual path and filename.
Conda installs packages into the anaconda/pkgs
directory.
To install a .tar file containing many conda packages, run the following command:
conda install /packages-path/packages-filename.tar
NOTE: Replace package-path
and package-filename.tar
with your actual path and filename.
If conda cannot find the file, try using an absolute path name instead of a relative path name.
NOTE: Installing packages directly from the file does not resolve dependencies. If your installed package does not work, it may have missing dependencies that need to be resolved manually.
