Environments

Anaconda Team Edition enables you to upload, move, copy, share, and download an environment yaml file. An environment is a folder or directory that contains a specific collection of conda packages and their dependencies. This allows them to be maintained and run separately without interference from each other.

For example, you may use a conda environment for only Python 2 and Python 2 packages, maintain another conda environment with only Python 3 and Python 3 packages, and maintain another for R language packages.

This topic provides guidance on the following actions:

Uploading an environment.yml file

  1. Create your environment file

  2. Click the green dropdown button in the top right corner, and then click Upload File.
