Conda cheatsheet

A cheatsheet of Conda commands.

Search available packages

The search command can be used to search for available packages and package versions programmatically.

For instance:

mamba search pysam

The following websites can also be used to manually search packages available in individual channels:

Install a specific package version

To install a specific version of a package, add the = symbol, followed by the specific version number.

For instance:

mamba install pysam=0.19.1

Reminder: use the search command to identify the the list of versions available for a given package.

mamba search pysam

Dry-run

For several commands, the --dry-run option can be used to only display what would have been done, without actually doing anything. This can be particularly helpful to safely assess the impact of any command that is likely to significantly alter the environment.

For instance:

mamba install pysam --dry-run

Remove packages

The remove command can be used to remove installed packages from the environment.

For instance:

mamba remove samtools
