Editing Navigator and conda configuration files
You can edit Navigator and conda configuration files through either the Navigator Preferences dialog or in your preferred text editor.
Be careful when changing values directly in the configuration files for Navigator or conda. Incorrect configuration can cause issues with these products.
Editing with the Navigator Preferences dialog
-
In Anaconda Navigator, open the Navigator Preferences dialog.
Open the File menu and click Preferences.
-
Click Configure Navigator to open the
anaconda-navigator.ini
file or click Configure Conda to open the.condarc
file within Navigator. -
Edit the file to change any configurations.
When you edit the Navigator and conda configuration files in Navigator, a validation tool warns you about missed requirements or incorrect formatting. The
.condarc
file must be a valid.yaml
format file. -
Click Save and Restart to save any changes to the open configuration file and restart Navigator.
Editing with your preferred text editor
Follow these steps to locate, open, and edit the .condarc
or anaconda-navigator.ini
files in your preferred text editor:
-
Open your
.condarc
file in your text editor of choice. -
Make and save your changes.
The
.condarc
file must be a valid.yaml
format file. -
Close and reopen Navigator or any Anaconda Prompt or command line windows.
