Python Dependency Manager Companion

======== Commands ======== The ``conda`` command is the primary interface for managing installations of various packages. It can: * Query and search the Anaconda package index and current Anaconda installation. * Create new conda environments. * Install and update packages into existing conda environments. .. tip:: You can abbreviate many frequently used command options that are preceded by 2 dashes (``--``) to just 1 dash and the first letter of the option. So ``--name`` and ``--envs`` can be written as ``-n`` and ``-e`` respectively. For full usage of each command, including abbreviations, see :doc:`commands <../../commands/index>`. You can see the same information at the command line by :doc:`viewing the command-line help <../tasks/view-command-line-help>`.
