List installed files of a package?

Question

I\'ve done my homework: searched, tried and read conda documentation. However, I could not find the answer to this seeming common and simple task: List files that belong to

Answer 1

Found out that all packages that conda installed are stored under <root_environment>/pkgs. One can find out about root environment and other information by running conda info.

Then to list files that a package has:

tree <root_environment>/pkgs/<package_name>-<package_version>

or with find, one can also find which downloaded package has the command:

find <root_environment> -type f -iname 'somecommand'

<root_environment> here is a placeholder for something like ~/anaconda if one installed anaconda into ~/anaconda

This solution is rather *nix-specific but it is good enough to me.

Answer 2

Assuming you have activated the relevant anaconda environment, you can look at the file ${CONDA_PREFIX}/conda-meta/<package-name-and-version>-<hash>.json and look for the files element.

(this works with Miniconda on Linux)
