How to install python with conda?


I'm trying to install python 3.9 in a conda enviroment. I tried creating a new conda env using the following command,

conda create --name myenv python=3.9

But I got an error saying package not found because python 3.9 is not yet released

So, I manually created a folder in envs folder and tried to list all envs. But I couldn't get the manually created new environment.

So, how do I install python 3.9 in a conda env with all functionalities like pip working?


Solution

  • To create python 3.11 conda environment use the following command

    conda create -n py311 python=3.11
    
    py311 - environment name
    

    Update 3

    To create python 3.10 conda environment use the following command

    conda create -n py310 python=3.10
    
    py310 - environment name
    

    Update 2

    You can now directly create python 3.9 environment using the following command

    conda create -n py39 python=3.9
    
    py39 - environment name
    

    Update 1

    Python 3.9 is now available in conda-forge.

    To download the tar file - https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/python/3.9.0/download/linux-64/python-3.9.0-h852b56e_0_cpython.tar.bz2

    Anaconda Page - https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/python


    As pointed out in the comments, python 3.9 is not yet there on any channels. So, it cannot be install yet via conda.

    Instead, you can download the python 3.9 executable and install it.

    Once the installation is done, a new executable will be created for python 3.9 and pip 3.9 will be created.

    Python:

    python3.7          
    python3.7-config   
    python3.7m         
    python3.7m-config  
    python3.9          
    python3.9-config
    

    pip

    pip      
    pip3     
    pip3.7   
    pip3.8   
    pip3.9   
    pipreqs
    

    In order to install ipython for python 3.9,

    pip3.9 install ipython
