If you are familiar with conda and want to use it to install packages, you can configure conda to search a specific set of channels for packages by creating a .condarc file in the root directory of your local machine.
If your organization has configured conda at the system level to limit platform users’ access to approved channels and packages only, this will override your user-level configuration file! If you are unsure if your organization has a system-level .condarc file, speak with your administrator.
The .condarc file is a configuration file that tells conda where to look for packages. Here is an example of what your .condarc file might look like: 
channels:
  - defaults
default_channels:
  - <CHANNEL_NAME>
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
The channels you specify can be public or private. Private channels require users to authenticate via anaconda-enterprise-cli before they can access packages from them. For more information about channel sharing, see sharing channels. Conda searches for requested packages in the channel listed at the top of the channels: list first. If that channel contains the requested package, it is downloaded from that channel. If the requested package is not located in that channel, conda will search for the package in the next entry of the channels: list. When conda reaches the defaults entry of the channels: list, it searches the channels listed under the default_channels: list, in the same descending order. In this example, conda will look for a requested package in your Workbench channel first, then will look in https://repo.anaconda.cloud/repo/main. For more information regarding the .condarc file, see the official conda documentation.
