Python Environments

Anaconda Environments provide a way of working with python packages. You can have any version of any package installed in a specific environment without changing you original set of packages. It is especially helpful for installing version compatible packages together.

Create the environment

Anaconda

conda create --name <<myenv>>

Python

python -m venv <<myenv>>

Check if environment was created

Anaconda

conda env list

Python

Activate the environment

Anaconda

conda activate <<myenv>>

Python

.\env\Scripts\activate

That’s it install packages the way you do

Anaconda

conda install pandas

Python

pip install pandas

Deactivate

Anaconda

conda deactivate

Python

deactivate
