Follow these steps to keep your Anaconda installation up to date:
- Open Anaconda prompt. Typically you can search for this
in windows 10, and then open the console (looks like a DOS prompt) - Then you can follow the steps laid out here. The link shows how to update all packages in the current environment, as well as specify an environment and then update the packages there (essentially the command: conda update –all [enter, those are 2 dashes before ‘all’ btw]). You can also update specific packages, instructions are in the referenced link.
- For example, see the picture below for an example of a command I used to update my TensorFlow environment
Footnotes:
- It can happen (happened to me!) that the Anaconda Prompt disappears from the windows menu after performing an update. You can follow the directions here in order to find it again.
