To update Anaconda manually, use this command:
conda update anaconda-navigator
Updating conda package manager
To update conda to the latest version, use this command: “conda update conda”.
To update the Anaconda to a specific version, use this command: conda update anaconda=VersionNumber.
The command conda update anaconda=VersionNumber grabs the specific release of the Anaconda metapackage; for example, conda update anaconda=2019.10.
That metapackage represents the pinned state that has undergone testing as a collection.
Upgrading all the packages under conda distribution
If you want to update all the packages under conda distribution, you can use the following command.
conda update --all
The conda update –all will upgrade everything. This updates all packages in the current environment to the latest version.
You can install, remove, or update any Anaconda package with a few clicks in Navigator or the single conda command in Anaconda Prompt (terminal on Linux or macOS).
To try Navigator after installing the Anaconda, click the Navigator icon on your OS program menu or run this command in the Anaconda prompt (or terminal on Linux or macOS): anaconda-navigator.
If you open the Anaconda Navigator, it looks like the below image.
Upgrading the specific package of Anaconda
To update a specific Anaconda package, use the following command.
conda update pkgName
When you use the conda update pkgName or conda install pkgName, conda may not be able to update or install that package without changing something else you specified in the past.
