Working with environments

To share an environment on Anaconda.org:

1. See the conda user guide to create and save a conda environment. Open the Terminal or an Anaconda Prompt and enter:

   conda env export -n my-environment -f my-environment.yml
   

   NOTE: Replace my-environment with the actual name of your environment.

2. Upload it to Anaconda.org either using the web interface or the anaconda upload command.

   • Using the web interface:

     Go to https://anaconda.org/USERNAME/environments.

     NOTE: Replace USERNAME with your username.

     In the top right corner use the Upload button to upload your environment.

   • Using the anaconda upload command from the Terminal or an Anaconda Prompt:

     anaconda upload my-environment.yml
     

     NOTE: Replace my-environment with the actual name of your environment.

3. You can see a list of your uploaded environments at:

   http://envs.anaconda.org/USERNAME
   

   NOTE: Replace USERNAME with your username.

4. Anyone can download and install your environment from Anaconda.org.

   • Using the web interface:

     Go to https://anaconda.org/USERNAME/environments.

     NOTE: Replace USERNAME with the username.

     Select the environment, go to Files tab and click the file to download under Names field.

   • Using the Terminal or an Anaconda Prompt:

     conda env create user/my-environment
     source activate my-environment
     

     NOTE: Replace my-environment with the actual name of your environment.
