Python Anaconda Proxy Setup via .condarc file on Windows

Question

I am having trouble going through a proxy for Anaconda install conda on a Windows 7 machine. How do I use a proxy?

http://conda.pydata.org/docs/config.html

the above link is broken, use this one instead

Answer 1

I had to create a .condarc file at the C:\Users\username folder.

Use copy con .condarc file if it does not exist at folder above.

File content is:

proxy_servers:
    http: http://username:[email protected]:8080
    https: https://username:[email protected]:8080

Two notes:

• Do not use tabs, there must be space between http: and http://...
• You might not have a username and password for the proxy. Leave out the username:password part and it will still work
