Modifying an Installed Conda Environment in Your Notebook Session

Learn about the multiple ways to modify the libraries in a conda environment.

You can directly install libraries using pip or conda commands in a notebook. The libraries are installed in the conda environment corresponding to the notebook kernel.

Alternatively, you can install libraries from a terminal window tab. The conda environment has to be activated in the terminal and then you use the conda install command:

source activate <path-to-the-conda-environment> 
conda install --file <path-to-requirements-file>

The <path-to-the-conda-environment> is the path to the installed conda environment you want to install the libraries in. All Installed Conda Environments are stored in the /home/datascience/conda/<slug> directory. The <path-to-requirements-file> is the path to the file listing all the libraries you want to install in the conda environment.
