The conda
command is the primary interface for managing
installations of various packages. It can:
- Query and search the Anaconda package index and current Anaconda installation.
- Create new conda environments.
- Install and update packages into existing conda environments.
Tip
You can abbreviate many frequently used command options that
are preceded by 2 dashes (--
) to just 1 dash and the first
letter of the option. So --name
and --envs
can be written as -n
and -e
respectively.
For full usage of each command, including abbreviations, see :doc:`../../commands`. You can see the same information at the command line by :doc:`viewing the command-line help <../tasks/view-command-line-help>`.
