How to reset anaconda root environment
PythonAnacondaPython Problem Overview
How do I reset the root environment of anaconda? There has to be a simple conda reset command that does this.
I don't want to reinstall anaconda all over again. I have other virtualenvs that I don't want to overwrite and that will happen if I install anaconda again.
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
See https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1032
> This has been implemented as conda list --revisions
and conda install --rev REV_NUM
.
EDIT: be careful though if you execute conda install --rev 0
as this will remove your root environment and the conda
command. Maybe conda install --rev 1
would produce the desired behavior (restore root environment to its state after first installation).
EDIT 2018-03-07: Use the --revision
argument instead of --rev
Solution 2 - Python
One might also consider conda update anaconda
. The anaconda
meta-package links together certain versions of packages that Continuum Analytics has figured out all play nice together.
