Anaconda Python: where are the virtual environments stored?

If you activate the environment you're interested in, you can find that answer in the environment variables.

on MacOS/Linux:

source activate python35echo $CONDA_PREFIX

on Windows:

conda activate python35echo %CONDA_PREFIX%

You can also run conda info --envs, and that will show the paths to all your environments.

To get the path to the instance of python being used by a particular environment, do the following:

on MacOS/Linux:

source activate python35which python

on Windows:

conda activate python35where python

That should return the path you're looking for.

You can run the command conda info.

This will output something like this:

envs directories : C:\Users\Geo\.local\Miniconda3\envs                   C:\Users\Geo\.conda\envs                   C:\Users\Geo\AppData\Local\conda\conda\envs

I have installed conda at C:\Users\Geo\.local\Miniconda3.

Then with the command conda info -e you get the location of each environment.

(base) C:\Users\Geo>conda info -e# conda environments:#miniconda2               C:\Users\Geo\.conda\envs\miniconda2base                  *  C:\Users\Geo\.local\Miniconda3anaconda3                C:\Users\Geo\.local\Miniconda3\envs\anaconda3ml                       C:\Users\Geo\.local\Miniconda3\envs\ml

Your environments are located in Anaconda3\envs\<yourEnv_directory>\
