How to make Anaconda work behind HTTP proxy (not https)?

Question

I\'m having trouble working with Anaconda behind a proxy at work.

When I have have the following environment variables:

http_proxy: http://domain\\us         


        

Answer 1

I went on to add HTTP_proxy and HTTPS proxy in the environment variable. The format used was "username:password@proxy_name:port". I then reopened Anaconda prompt. Type "set" to verify the added variables are present in Anaconda environment. Now you can type "spyder" in the Ananconda prompt. This setting worked for me.

Initially I had tried setting the ".condarc file with the proxy parameters and tried "conda update conda" to no luck.
