How do I keep track of pip-installed packages in an Anaconda (Conda) environment?

Question

I\'ve installed and have been using the Anaconda Python distribution, and I have started using the Anaconda (Conda) environment. I can use the standard conda install..

Answer 1

I usually prefix the 'bin/pip' folder for the specific environment you want to install the package before the 'pip' command. For instance, if you would like to install pymc3 in the environment py34, you should use this command:

~/anaconda/envs/py34/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3 

You basically just need to find the right path to your environment 'bin/pip' folder and put it before the install command.
