Anaconda - I have set up an environment, how do I use it?

Question

I have set up an environment in anaconda and installed additional packages in it (mainly pybrain).

How can I access the environment's modules and packages? Can those be imported from a python script? If so, how?

I searched the documentation but did not find the answer.

Answer 1

If you have an environment created with conda, you need to activate it.

On Windows:

activate myenv_name

Other platforms:

source activate myenv_name

Replace myenv_name with name of your environment.

If you don't have such an environment skip this step.

Install pybrain with:

pip install pybrain

Now you can use it.
