How to Move Conda Environment

Activate the conda environment that you want to move. Then, enter the following command:


1
2
 conda activate C:\Users\YourUserName\.conda\envs\YourEnvironmentName
conda env export > C:\Users\YourUserName\YourEnvironmentName.yml

This will create a YAML file that contains the environment’s dependencies.
After that, deactivate the environment, and then remove the environment by the following command:


1
 conda remove --prefix C:\Users\YourUserName\.conda\envs\YourEnvironmentName --all

Finally, create a new environment by the following command:


1
2
 conda env create -p E:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\envs\YourNewEnvironmentName -f C:\Users\YourUserName\YourEnvironmentName.yml
del C:\Users\YourUserName\YourEnvironmentName.yml

Delete the YAML file after creating the new environment. Done!
