How to generate a copy of the current enviroment.

[serendip42]

Hi,

I have a working environment. Now, I would like to install other packages. However, I would like to be able to save the current environment.

So, I need to make a copy of the current enviroment, so that I can experiment and for production use the saved copy. 

I was looking here:

http://conda.pydata.org/docs/faq.html#general-questions

However, it is only explained how to make a new enviroment with a specific version of some package or a clean enviroment.

How is it possible to generate a copy, a branch of the current setup??

kind regards

Hi,
You can do
    conda create -n NewEnv --clone OldEnv
I think that will do what you want.
Regards,
Jon

conda create -n test -clone root

Fetching package metadata: ....Error: Could not find Binstar user lone

That is not working, unfortunately.

--clone

Try this:
    conda create --help

Now, I have the environment test. How can I delete it?

clone remove only works for packages.
