I'm currently using IPython version 4.
$ ipython

How can I downgrade it to version 3 (less than 4)?
By using conda remove
1 and conda install
.
conda remove
will remove the current version of ipython
:
conda remove ipython
You can then optionally search for versions of ipython
that you want to install with conda search ipython
:
ipython 0.13 py27_0 defaults
0.13 py26_0 defaults
0.13 py33_1 defaults
0.13 py27_1 defaults
0.13 py26_1 defaults
0.13.1 py33_1 defaults
... continues..
3.2.0 py27_0 defaults
3.2.1 py34_0 defaults
3.2.1 py33_0 defaults
3.2.1 py27_0 defaults
4.0.0 py35_0 defaults
4.0.0 py34_0 defaults
* 4.0.0 py27_0 defaults
With the starred entry denoting the current version you have.
Then, use conda install ipython=version_num
to install the version you want. Look out for default Python versions required by each ipython
version though!
1 As I recently noticed, the conda remove
step is obsolete. You can simply list the python versions with conda search
and then execute conda install
with the version you want, anaconda takes care of the replacement for you:
(myenv)jim@unx: conda install ipython=3.2.0
Fetching package metadata: ....
Solving package specifications: ................
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
ipython: 4.0.1-py27_0 --> 3.2.0-py27_0
Proceed ([y]/n)? y
