Where does miniconda store installed packages?

Question

I am using Conda environment on Ubuntu machine. I installed a new Python package, but I am not sure where does Anaconda/Miniconda store packages? How can I find the location of the Python packages installed in Conda environment?

Answer 1

Usually, Miniconda stores all packages inside the "/lib/pythonX.XX/site-packages" folder inside the Miniconda folder.

To find the location of a Python package you installed in the Conda environment, you can use the "find" command on the terminal.

find . -type d -name "package_name"

"d" is for the directory search. If you want to use file search, you can use the "f" option.
