Keep ana up to date, check available versions, and submit feedback.
Commands
Update options
The update command accepts these options. You can also name a specific version, as shown in the examples below.
Use --check and --list separately. Do not combine either with a version or --force.
Examples
Update to the latest version
To install the latest version, run:
If an update is available, ana installs it without asking for confirmation. It then updates eligible managed tools.
Update to a specific version
To see which versions are available, run:
Then, install the version you want:
If that version is already installed, ana leaves it unchanged. To reinstall it, use:
Check for an update
To check for an update and choose whether to install it, run:
The confirmation defaults to Yes. Pressing Enter or running with empty input can install the update. Enter n to decline, or use --list if you only want to inspect available versions.
Package-managed builds
If you installed ana with conda, activate its environment and update it through conda instead:
Update settings
Ana checks for updates automatically and displays a notification when one is available. Notifications do not install updates. To turn them off, set ANA_UPDATE_CHECK=false.
The following optional settings control updates:
Update sources and prereleases
Use the defaults for regular releases. With ANA_PRERELEASES=true, the default update source uses its dev channel; the GitHub source includes prereleases alongside regular releases. Available versions can differ between sources, so use ana self update --list before requesting one.
Submit feedback
To report a bug or request a feature, run:
This opens the Anaconda CLI issue chooser. If ANA_OPEN_BROWSER=false, ana prints the link instead.
Display the user-agent string
If you need to inspect how ana identifies its HTTP requests, run:
You can add --prefix followed by a conda environment path to include usage information for that environment. Review the output before sharing it in a public issue.
