Python - Packages (Archive, Distribution) in the context of the conda application
Conda packages are downloaded from remote channels, which are URLs to directories containing conda packages. The conda command searches a default set of channels, and packages are automatically downloaded and updated
A conda package is a tarball or bzipped tar archive, with the extension “.tar.bz2”, which contains :
From Anaconda.org (Anaconda Cloud)
# Globally
conda install [packagename]
# In a environment
conda install --name envName packagename
where name is the name of an environment. During the install process into an environment, files are extracted into the install prefix, except for files in the info/ directory. See format.
pip install packageName
conda install --channel channelName packageName
conda remove packageName1 ... packageNameN
conda remove --name envName packageName1 ... packageNameN
