When To Use

For troubleshooting environmental variable issues in automated setups.

Pro Tip

Execute `conda info -s` for a concise summary of the system configuration.

Output

active environment : base  
       active env location : /home/user/miniconda3/envs/base  
              shell level : 1  
         user config file : /home/user/.condarc  
       populated config files : /home/user/miniconda3/.condarc  
        conda version : 4.10.3  
  conda-build version : 3.21.4  
     python version : 3.9.5  
     virtual packages : 
     base environment : /home/user/miniconda3

Anatomy of Output

Understanding the result

CONDA_EXE = /home/user/miniconda3/bin/conda Conda Executable

Path to the conda executable.

PATH = /home/user/miniconda3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin System Path

Lists directories in the PATH environment variable.

CONDA_ENV_PATH = /home/user/miniconda3/envs Environment Path

Location where conda environments are stored.

Power User Variants

Optimized versions

conda info -s -e

Show environment variables with environment information.

Troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

No such file or directory: CONDA_EXE not set.

Solution: Check conda installation for corruption.

KeyError: 'PATH' not found.

Solution: Reinitialize shell or ensure conda is initialized.

EnvironmentError: Path is not set correctly.

Solution: Verify PATH configuration in your shell.

Command Breakdown

What each part is doing

conda: Base Command; The executable that performs this operation. Here it runs Conda before the shell applies any redirect operators.
-s: s| system; The value supplied for s| system.
-s: Command Option; Tool-specific option used by this command invocation.

How To Run

Execution path

Step 1
Run the command: `conda info --system`
Step 2
Check for active environment and path in the output.
Step 3
Ensure expected versions align with your project needs.
