[python] Using Pip to install packages to Anaconda Environment

Depends on how did you configure your PATH environmental variable. When your shell resolves the call to pip, which is the first bin it will find?

(test)$ whereis pip
pip: /home/borja/anaconda3/envs/test/bin/pip /home/borja/anaconda3/bin/pip

Make sure the bin folder from your anaconda installation is before /usr/lib (depending on how you did install pip). So an example:

(test) borja@xxxx:~$ pip install djangorestframework
....
Successfully installed asgiref-3.2.3 django-3.0.3 djangorestframework-3.11.0 pytz-2019.3 sqlparse-0.3.1

(test) borja@xxxx:~$ conda list | grep django
django                    3.0.3                    pypi_0    pypi
djangorestframework       3.11.0                   pypi_0    pypi

We can see the djangorestframework was installed in my test environment but if I check my base:

(base) borja@xxxx:~$ conda list | grep django

It is empty.

Personally I like to handle all my PATH configuration using .pam_environment, here an example:

(base) borja@xxxx:~$ cat .pam_environment
PATH DEFAULT=/home/@{PAM_USER}/anaconda3/bin:${PATH}

One extra commet. The way how you install pip might create issues:

  • You should use: conda install pip --> new packages installed with pip will be added to conda list.

  • You shodul NOT use: sudo apt install python3-pip --> new packages will not be added to conda list (so are not managed by conda) but you will still be able to use them (chance of conflict).
