How to export Conda environment to YAML file

Question

I want to save the Conda environment details in a YAML file. How can I export the environment to a YAML file from the command line of Linux?

Answer 1

You can export your Conda environment to a YAML file using the following commands in your terminal:

• Activate the environment you want to export:

conda activate <your_environment_name>

Replace <your_environment_name> with the name of your Conda environment.

• Export the environment:

conda env export > environment.yaml

This will create a file named environment.yaml in your current directory, containing all the dependencies, channels, and versions of the packages in the environment.
