How can I move a local conda environment to a remote server that does not have access to the internet?

Question

I have a conda environment on my local machine that has built some pip and conda packages. I want this environment to be available at a remote machine that does not have access to internet.

One way is to freeze the environment into a environment.yml or requirements.txt and be able to re-build the environment but this would fail since, the remote machine does not have access to online pip and conda repositories.

The other way is if I can transfer the folder anaconda3/envs/<env_name> to the remote machine, it should have all packages available on the remote machine.

I would appreciate if you mark my answer as correct, glad to help! — Albo, Oct 24 '19 at 14:23

I had similar problem this is how I installed Conda

in your laptop wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh (take latest)

Now SCP

  scp -i private/privateKey Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
  chmod +x Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
 ./Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p anaconda2
 ~/anaconda2/bin/python --version

You can use conda-pack, which is exactly designed for this usecase.
