Anaconda using Using both Python 2.x and Python 3.x in IPython Notebook

Question

using the instructions here Using nb_conda_kernels I almost have it going,, but I seem to have only the very basic Python Interpreter in my environments. What I want is a full Anaconda environment for each version of Python, with all the libraries? How can I do that?

Answer 1

What you probably want to do is to create a environment with some predefined set of packages. From the command line, and possibly outside any conda environment, try something like ( py2 can indeed any name you want):

conda create --name py2 python=2 anaconda
