Remove an environment
If you didn’t really want an environment named flowers, just remove it as follows:
conda remove --name flowers --all
Export the environment file
To enable another person to create an exact copy of your environment, you will export the active environment file.
Activate the environment you wish to export:
Linux, OS X:
source activate peppermint
Windows:
activate peppermint
NOTE: Replace “peppermint” with the name of the environment.
NOTE: If you already have an environment.yml file in your current directory, it will be overwritten with the new file.
Export your active environment to the new file:
All users:
conda env export > environment.yml
NOTE: This file handles the environment’s pip packages as well as its conda packages.
Email or copy the exported environment.yml file to the other person.
The other person will then need to create the environment by the following command:
conda env create -f environment.yml
Use environment from file
Create a copy of another developer’s environment from their environment.yml file:
conda env create -f environment.yml
Activate the new environment:
Linux, OS X:
source activate peppermint
Windows:
activate peppermint
NOTE: Replace “peppermint” with the name of the environment.
Verify that the new environment was installed correctly:
conda list
