How can you “clone” a conda environment into the root environment?

Question

I\'d like the root environment of conda to copy all of the packages in another environment. How can this be done?

Answer 1

To make a copy of your root environment (named base), you can use following command; worked for me with Anaconda3-5.0.1:

conda create --name  --clone base

you can list all the packages installed in conda environment with following command

conda list -n
