Both Anaconda and Miniconda offer the conda package manager, which can also be used to manage virtual environments. Open a terminal and use the following command to list all available environments on your system:
>> conda info -e
Use the following command for creating a virtual environment based on Python version 2.7:
>> conda create -n python3packt python=2.7
Activate the environment next as follows:
>> activate python3packt
Multiple additional packages can now be installed with a single command:
>> conda install -n python3packt <package-name1> <package-name2>
This command calls conda directly.
Deactivate the environment you've been working in as follows:
>> deactivate
