I am working in a business environment with different disks, of which on of them is my personal space (e.g. H:\). I created a new conda environment on that disk, and it was listed in the conda info --envs. Today I rebooted my machine and the conda directory is still there, but it is not anymore in the conda info --envs because that information is stored on a disk that gets wiped every time I log out.
I can still activate the environment by using activate H:\path\to\env, but not with its name. Is there a way to 'update' my conda list of environments, looking at a specific folder?
You can add a directory containing environments using the command:
conda config --add envs_dirs /path/to/directory/containing/environments
On Linux:
(root) [root@af511ebe9357 /]# ls /condaenvs/
