Use ana to authenticate, configure package sources, and work with Anaconda services. Use conda or pixi to install packages and manage your project environments.

​
Usage

To see the commands supported by your installed version, run:
For command-specific help, append --help, for example:

​
Command groups

The Anaconda CLI provides these commands: If you installed ana with conda, use conda to update it and its companion packages. That installation does not include the platform or channel command groups.

​
Make API requests

Use ana api fetch to call Anaconda APIs from your terminal. Log in with ana login first.

​
Usage

​
Arguments

An API path uses anaconda.com by default, or the domain set in ANA_DOMAIN. Use the endpoint and request format documented by the API you’re calling.

​
Options

The command prints the response and its HTTP status. If you use it in a script, check the status or response: an HTTP error such as 404 does not by itself make the command return a failure exit code.

​
Examples

To inspect the authenticated session through the API, run:
To send query parameters supported by an endpoint, run:
To write the response body to a file while leaving the HTTP status visible in the terminal, run:
Session output can contain account information. Store it securely and remove it when it is no longer needed.

​
Channel commands

Use channel commands to manage hosted channels and upload packages. Log in before using them. These commands are not available in conda-packaged builds. These commands manage hosted channels and uploads. They do not configure conda’s local channel search order; use Features for that task.
Removing a channel changes remote data. Confirm the organization and channel before running ana channel remove.

​
Configure ana

Use environment variables to change settings such as the Anaconda domain, keyring location, or update notifications. To inspect the loaded configuration, run:
The following variables control common settings: Use true or false for settings that turn a feature on or off, and a number of hours for update intervals. Leave ANA_AUTO_UPDATE_TOOLS unset to use each tool’s default update behavior. For example, to disable usage telemetry in the current shell session:
Usage telemetry and error diagnostics are separate. Builds with Sentry diagnostics also accept ANA_SENTRY_DISABLED=true to disable error reporting. For login settings, see Authentication; for update settings, see Self update.
