Anaconda.org hosts hundreds of useful Python packages for a wide variety of applications. This page explains how to search for packages using Anaconda.org, what package information is available to you, and how to install packages using conda. You do not need to be logged in—or even have an Anaconda.org account—to search for public packages and install them. You do need to be logged in, however, to access authenticated packages, and you’ll need a token to access other users’ private packages.

​
Searching for public packages

Use the search box at the top of the page to locate packages uploaded to Anaconda.org. Packages that match or partially match your query display when you execute a search. To see more information, click the package name.

​
Refining your search results

You can filter search results using three filter controls:
  • Type: All, conda only, standard Python only, or standard R only
  • Access: All, Public, Private (only available if you are logged in and have specific permissions), or Authenticated (only available if you are logged in)
  • Platform: All, source, linux-32, linux-64, linux-aarch64, linux-armv6l, linux-armv7l, linux-ppc64le, linux-s390x, noarch, osx-32, osx-64, win-32, or win-64
Source packages are source code only, not yet built for any specific platform.Noarch packages are built to work on all platforms.

​
Viewing package information

Each official package page on Anaconda.org provides valuable information about the package, such as its version, license, home webpage, documentation (if available), number of downloads, and the last time the package was updated.
You can also find commands on this page to assist you with installing the package in your environment.
If the Installer section lists multiple install commands and you’re unsure about which one to use, the command without labels (most often the first on the list) is likely to be the default package.

​
Installing packages from Anaconda.org

You can install packages using Anaconda Navigator, Anaconda’s graphical user interface that is built on top of conda. Advanced users may prefer using a command line interface (CLI), such as Anaconda Prompt on Windows or Terminal on macOS/Linux.
  • Using Navigator
  • Using the CLI
Navigator is automatically installed when you install Anaconda. Miniconda users can obtain Navigator by running conda install anaconda-navigator.To install a package into its own environment:
  1. Open Anaconda Navigator.
  2. Select Connect, then select SIGN IN beside Anaconda.org.
  3. Select Environments from the left-hand navigation, then look for your package by name using the Search Packages field. Filter packages further using the dropdown above the Name column.
  4. Select the checkbox of the package you want to install, then select Apply.
