I want to create an environment which is an exact copy of my root
environment, but not making any hard copies of packages (later I will add a few packages not in Anaconda). I thought I could do this with one of the following:
conda create -n newroot --clone root
conda create -n newroot --copy root
conda create -n newroot anaconda
But all of these download packages. How do I create an exact replica environment of the current Anaconda distribution? (I know later I can add packages with conda install -n newroot <package name>
)
