## You can try below approach to move all the package from one machine to other :
## Note : Machine that packages are being moved should be same and python version also should be same



$ pip install conda-pack



# To package an environment:

## Pack environment my_env into my_env.tar.gz

$ conda pack -n my_env

## Pack environment my_env into out_name.tar.gz

$ conda pack -n my_env -o out_name.tar.gz


## Pack environment located at an explicit path into my_env.tar.gz

$ conda pack -p /explicit/path/to/my_env


# After following above approach, you will end up with a tar.gz file. Now to install package from this zip file follow below approach.

## To install the environment:

## Unpack environment into directory `my_env`

$ mkdir -p my_env
$ tar -xzf my_env.tar.gz -C my_env


## Use Python without activating or fixing the prefixes. Most Python
## libraries will work fine, but things that require prefix cleanups
## will fail.

$ ./my_env/bin/python


## Activate the environment. This adds `my_env/bin` to your path

$ source my_env/bin/activate


## Run Python from in the environment

(my_env) $ python


## Cleanup prefixes from in the active environment.
## Note that this command can also be run without activating the environment
## as long as some version of Python is already installed on the machine.

(my_env) $ conda-unpack
