Using the latest miniconda2 I created a conda environment & then did all my conda package installs. Then when I finished I realized I had FORGOT TO ACTIVATE the environment (I'm dizzy) with the command
source activate myenv
so all my conda installs went into the local/system wide environment. I simply did
conda uninstall package-name
for all the packages but I'm certain not all the dependencies were removed. For example, conda install of matplotlib showed
The following NEW packages will be INSTALLED:
cycler: 0.10.0-py36_0
dbus: 1.10.20-0

which conda shows
/home/cargo/miniconda2/bin/conda
First I created the environment
conda create -n myenv python=3
Then I did all the conda installs
conda install numpy
conda install pandas
.
.
conda install statsmodels
Then I realized I failed to activate the environment b/c the terminal prompt was
cargo@cargo-VirtualBox:~$ INSTEAD OF (myenv)cargo@cargo-VirtualBox:~$
The terminal prompt is what got my attention before I even tried to do anything else; I'm 110% certain I didn't activate the environment as I can't find the command in the bash history. Next I did uninstalls for all the conda packages as stated above. I guess it's good now that I no longer see the python3 packages in the local/root environment but I can't explain/understand why?
