Getting Started with conda

There are some good resources for getting started with conda on the conda website:

• conda cheat sheet
• Getting started with conda

Here are a few commands that I found useful as a complete newbie to conda:

Command	What it does
conda info	displays information about your setup
conda info --envs	lists your virtual environments
conda create --name jupyter --python=3.7	create a new virtual environment named jupyter with python version 3.7.x
conda create --name jupyter "python>=3.7"	same as above except python version is greater than or equal to 3.7 (in this case, has the same effect as the previous command); note that you need to use double quotes when using >=
conda activate jupyter	activate the virtual environment named jupyter; it's possible that your command might be different. You can also try source activate jupyter or activate jupyter in Windows.
conda deactivate	deactivate the current virtual environment; it's possible that your command might be different. You can also try source deactivate or deactivate in Windows.
conda env remove --name jupyter	delete the virtual environment named jupyter and everything in it
python -V	check which version of python you are using
which python	find the path to the version of python you are using
