What the title says: if I have miniconda installed, what's the easiest way to install all the packages that would have been installed, had I started by installing anaconda instead?

For context, I'm doing this with docker. I'm starting with https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/master/Dockerfile, which installs miniconda. Then I'm doing RUN /opt/conda/bin/conda install --yes anaconda. But the output of that is only:

Step 3/7 : RUN /opt/conda/bin/conda install --yes anaconda # anaconda ---> Running in 2b1e512efd38 Solving environment: ...working... done anaconda-custom | 6 KB | ########## | 100% certifi-2018.8.24 | 140 KB | ########## | 100% conda-4.5.11 | 1.0 MB | ########## | 100% openssl-1.0.2p | 3.5 MB | ########## | 100%

...and at the end of the day I cannot, for instance, do import numpy. I thought that installing anaconda would install numpy (and all the other stuff)?

The packages in Anaconda are defined by the anaconda meta-package. So

conda install anaconda

  • I must be doing something wrong then. If it does right, I should be able to import numpy, right? But I can't. Edited question... – Colin Sep 13 '18 at 15:41
  • Are you sure you're running `/opt/conda/bin/python`? What is the output of `python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"`? – darthbith Sep 13 '18 at 15:51
  • Step 2/8 : RUN python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" ---> Running in e4060eb4d59c /opt/conda/bin/python – Colin Sep 13 '18 at 15:53
  • And what about `/opt/conda/bin/conda list`? Does that show NumPy installed? – darthbith Sep 13 '18 at 15:54
  • (Although, you have completely changed the question now, from what it was originally...) – darthbith Sep 13 '18 at 15:54
  • (well, sort of - I mean, it should still be applicable?) - nope, numpy not installed. So when it downloaded anaconda-custom, do I then have to do anything with that? – Colin Sep 13 '18 at 15:56

Well, not an answer to why it was happening in the first place, but as a workaround:

conda install anaconda=5.2.0
