Get the list of packages installed in Anaconda

Over a period of time, I have loaded a number of packages into the Anaconda I have been using. Now I am not able to keep track of it. How do we get a list of all packages loaded in Anaconda (Windows 10)? What is the command?

Solution 1:

in terminal, type : conda list to obtain the packages installed using conda.

for the packages that pip recognizes, type : pip list

There may be some overlap of these lists as pip may recognize packages installed by conda (but maybe not the other way around, IDK).

There is a useful source here, including how to update or upgrade packages..

Solution 2:

To list all of the packages in the active environment, use:

conda list

To list all of the packages in a deactivated environment, use:

conda list -n myenv

Solution 3:

To check if a specific package is installed:

conda list html5lib

which outputs something like this if installed:

# packages in environment at C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
html5lib                  1.0.1                    py37_0

or something like this if not installed:

# packages in environment at C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel

you don't need to type the exact package name. Partial matches are supported:

conda list html

This outputs all installed packages containing 'html':

# packages in environment at C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
html5lib                  1.0.1                    py37_0
sphinxcontrib-htmlhelp    1.0.2                      py_0
sphinxcontrib-serializinghtml 1.1.3                      py_0
