Manual conda Configuration

Setup of the conda configuration in C:\Users\<username>\.condarc.

Creating the File

1. Create the .condarc file in your user directory (C:\Users\<username>\.condarc).

Note

If you are unable to create a file with a leading dot (.) but no file extension in the file explorer, see https://www.hanselman.com/blog/how-to-create-a-file-with-a-dot-prefix-in-windows-explorer

Configuration

1. To add the conda channel for foxbms, open the C:\Users\<username>\.condarc file and add foxbms (all letters in lowercase) to the channels section. If the defaults channel is missing, add it first:

   defaults and foxbms are added to channels section

   channels:
      - defaults
      - foxbms
   

   Note

   If the foxbms channel and the defaults entries are already existing in the conda channels section this step can be skipped.

2. If conda is used behind a proxy, the conda proxy configuration must be adapted accordingly. Open C:\Users\<username>\.condarc and edit the http and https proxy information, according to your network:

   Example proxy_servers in C:\Users\<username>\.condarc

   proxy_servers:
      http: http://user:pass@corp.com:8080
      https: https://user:pass@corp.com:8080
   

   Note

   If the conda proxy is already correctly set, this step can be skipped.

3. A correct setup conda configuration in C:\Users\<username>\.condarc might then look like that:

   Example conda configuration in C:\Users\<username>\.condarc

   channels:
      - defaults
      - foxbms
   
   proxy_servers:
      http: my-company-http:8030
      https: my-company-https:8030
