conda search
command to check if a package is available in a channel or to see if it’s already installed in one of your environments. Run conda search --help
to see a list of available options.
channels:
list in your .condarc
file. If the requested package is not located in that channel, conda continues searching using the next entry in the channels:
list.
When conda reaches the defaults
entry in the channels:
list, it searches the channels listed under the default_channels:
list, in the same descending order. This is called “channel priority”, and it determines which source conda uses first when resolving packages.
