How to import packages from Anaconda instead of default pip directory

Question

When using iPython and Jupyter Notebook, the commands

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

always try to import the packages from the default python directory:

 C:/Users/sx449_000/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python36/site-packages

How can I change it to make it import from my anaconda site packages as below?

 C:/programdata/miniconda3/lib/site-packages 

Answer 1

First, make sure you are using the right kernel in your ipython notebook, otherwise, you can change it from kernel >> change kernel

You can also try,

 import sys
 sys.path.append('C:/programdata/miniconda3/lib/packages/numpy')
 import numpy as np
