How to make Anaconda work behind HTTP proxy (not https)?

Question

I\'m having trouble working with Anaconda behind a proxy at work.

When I have have the following environment variables:

http_proxy: http://domain\\us         


        

Answer 1

The below worked for me to permanently set my proxies for Anaconda:

Go to C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/etc/

If it doesn’t already have a conda folder, create it.

If it doesn’t already have the folders activate.d and deactive.d, create them.

Also create env_vars.bat in both folders. Your end structure should look like the snapshot below:

In env_vars.bat in activate.d, paste the following (change it to your own proxies):

set HTTP_PROXY=http://xx.xx.x.xx:xxxx/
set FTP_PROXY=http://xx.xx.x.xx:xxxx/
set HTTPS_PROXY=https://xx.xx.xxx.xx:xxxx/

In env_vars.bat in deactivate.d, paste the following (leave the variables blank):

set HTTP_PROXY=
set FTP_PROXY=
set HTTPS_PROXY=

Close and reopen your Anaconda Prompt to activate the changes.
