As for avoiding conflicts between different Python environments, you can use virtual environments. In particular, with Miniconda, the following workflow could be used,
$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda.sh$ bash miniconda$ conda env remove --yes -n new_env # remove the environement new_env if it exists (optional)$ conda create --yes -n new_env pip numpy pandas scipy matplotlib scikit-learn nltk ipython-notebook seaborn python=2$ activate new_env$ # pip install modules if needed, run python scripts, etc # everything will be installed in the new_env # located in ~/miniconda/envs/new_env$ deactivate
The proper way to fully uninstall conda (Anaconda / Miniconda):
Remove all conda-related files and directories using the Anaconda-Clean package
conda activate your_conda_env_nameconda install anaconda-cleananaconda-clean # add `--yes` to avoid being prompted to delete each one
Remove your entire conda directory
rm -rf ~/miniconda3
Remove the line which adds the conda path to the
PATH
environment variablevi ~/.bashrc# -> Search for conda and delete the lines containing it# -> If you're not sure if the line belongs to conda, comment it instead of deleting it just to be safesource ~/.bashrc
Remove the backup folder created by the the Anaconda-Clean packageNOTE: Think twice before doing this, because after that you won't be able to restore anything from your old conda installation!
rm -rf ~/.anaconda_backup
