Instead, an environment manager enables you to configure independent environments, i.e. a set of programs (each also with a defined version) in which one tool or combination of tools works. It is often difficult to have one universal install in which all of your tools will work predictably at the same time. Unfortunately, some programs might, at the same time, conflict with other programs or only work with specific version numbers. One of the difficulties when working with software tools is that these often have dependencies, i.e. need other programs to properly function (which might themselves need other programs and so on). These apps are downloaded as so-called packages.Ĭonda acts as an environment manager. Conda itself fulfills two functions:Ĭonda is a package manager, i.e. think of it as an App Store where you can get apps for your command-line interface (CLI).
