Anaconda - I have set up an environment, how do I use it?

I have set up an environment in anaconda and installed additional packages in it (mainly pybrain).

How can I access the environment's modules and packages? Can those be imported from a python script? If so, how?

I searched the documentation but did not find the answer.

Solution

  • If you have an environment created with conda, you need to activate it.

    On Windows:

    activate myenv_name

    Other platforms:

    source activate myenv_name

    Replace myenv_name with name of your environment.

    If you don't have such an environment skip this step.

    Install pybrain with:

    pip install pybrain

    Now you can use it.
