Add directories where to look for conda environments - vicgalle/wiki-example GitHub Wiki
The conda configuration file, ~/.condarc, is an optional runtime configuration file that allows advanced users to configure various aspects of conda, such as which channels it searches for packages, proxy settings and environment directories.
The ~/.condarc file is not included by default, but it is automatically created in your home directory the first time you run the command:
$ conda config
Then you add a path to the field envs_dirs:
$ conda config --add envs_dirs <path-to-envs-dir>
In order to add more directories where to look for environments, you add the following line to the ~/.condarc file (note that by default there are curly brackets {} that must be removed)
envs_dirs:
- <path>
Example:
envs_dirs:
- /home/data/ucadatalab_group/envs
This is useful to have shared environments among the users in a remote machine. Instead of everyone installing the same environment for a project in its local directories, everyone uses the shared one.
