How to install conda without Anaconda or Miniconda installer?


I don’t want to use Anaconda or Miniconda as they install their own version of Python. I need just the conda package manager which I can use with my existing version of Python in existing virtual env. Is there any way to install conda package manager which can work with existing Python installation?


Solution

  • No, this is not possible:

    Currently supported install methods include the Anaconda installer and the miniconda installer.

    From here

    You will either need to install miniconda/anaconda, or use another package manager.

    Alternatively, you can use miniforge and its variants, but they still all come "with their own version of python". I don't know of a way to use conda with an existing installation of python
