Install python packages to correct anaconda environment
Question:
I’ve setup anaconda and created a python 3.3 environment. Now I wanted to install some package (dataset). The install instructions ask to clone the git repo and run
python setup.py install
but now the packages are not installed to the environments site-packages folder but to a different anaconda location.
What are the normal steps to solve that problem? Newbie-compatible solutions are preferred. The OS is MacOSX, just is case, it is relevant.
Answers:
It looks like conda automatically adds pip to your conda environment, so after you source your conda environment, i.e.:
source activate ~/anaconda/envs/dataset
you should be able to install it like this:
git clone git://github.com/pudo/dataset.git
pip install ./dataset
EDIT
Here are the exact steps I took:
$ conda create -p ~/anaconda/envs/py33 python=3.3 anaconda pip
$ source activate ~/anaconda/envs/py33
$ which pip
~/anaconda/envs/py33/bin/pip
$ pip install ./dataset/
