I recently started using Anaconda Prompt instead of the Windows CLI. I note that standard CLI commands like 'cd' to change directory work in Anaconda Prompt, but other standard commands like 'ls' do not work. How can I list the contents in a directory in Anaconda prompt? Do I have to import the os module or can I do this directly? Thanks

1 Answer 1. Anaconda Prompt takes most or all of the commands that Command Prompt takes, plus many that are unique to Conda, which you can both access introductions to and start further exploration of here. But as darthbith commented, you need to use dir, not ls, in Command Prompt and its derivatives.
You can also access help from the command line with the --help flag: The following commands are part of conda: If you have used pip and virtualenv in the past, you can use conda to perform all of the same operations. Pip is a package manager and virtualenv is an environment manager. Conda is both. Scroll to the right to see the entire table.
