Projects contain all of the components needed to use or run an application. This includes relevant packages, channels, scripts, notebooks, files, environment variables, services and commands, and a core configuration file named anaconda-project.yml. They provide a method to accurately reproduce your work and collaborate on it with other team members. Projects automate setup steps such as installing packages, downloading files, setting environment variables, and running commands.

Use Anaconda Project to archive your project directory into a .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, or .zip file for portability purposes and to share with others. For more information, see the official Anaconda Project documentation.

Package Security Manager enables you to upload and share Anaconda Project files within a channel. You can move, copy, and share your project with your team or provide authorized users access to the channel.
