anaconda-client is the command-line interface and client library for Anaconda.org. Use it to search for, upload, download, and manage packages, manage labels and collaborators, and configure authorization tokens—all from your terminal.
Most of these commands use the anaconda org command structure. Commands without the org prefix (for example, anaconda auth) are still supported.

​

If you installed Anaconda Distribution, anaconda-client should already be in your base environment. To check, run the following command:
