I just got conda and set up an environment named ct-env which contains the tool cantera and was recently activated. Now I would like to use pandas in a script, my anaconda distribution installed it and pandas is available in the base environment. How do I bring it to the ct-env environment?
So using conda list in the prompt i can indeed see pandas being present among the listed packages in base but when i activate ct-env pandas is not present anymore.
The reason pandas isn't available in your ct-env environment is because conda environments are isolated.
Activate your environment:
conda activate ct-env
Install pandas:
conda install pandas
Just because pandas is in your base environment doesn't mean it's automatically available in other environments.
