Searching for packages

Anaconda is releasing a new user experience that is affecting some of the pages on Anaconda.org. Search and the package details pages have a new look and feel, but be aware that some pages will still have the old interface for now.

Anaconda.org hosts thousands of conda packages for a wide range of scientific and analytical use cases.

This page shows you how to find packages hosted on Anaconda.org and understand the information available for each package.

An Anaconda account and a token with appropriate permissions are required to access other users’ private packages. See Tokens.
