How to transfer Anaconda env installed on one machine to another? [Both with Ubuntu installed]
i have been using Anaconda(4.3.23) on my GuestOS ubuntu 14.04 which is installed on Vmware on HostOS windows 8.1. i have setup an environment in anaconda and have installed many libraries, some of which were very hectic to install (not straight forward pip installs). few libraries had inner dependencies and had to be build together and from their git source.
Problem
i am going to use Cloud based VM (Azure GPU instance) to use GPU. but i don't want to get into the hectic installation again as i don't want to waste money on the time it will take me to install all the packages and libraries again
Is there any way to transfer/copy my existing env (which has everything already installed) to the Cloud VM.?

You should be able to doconda list --export > requirements.txtand then on your new environment doconda create --name [env name] --file requirements.txt

wouldn't that only work if the packages and libraries are out of the shelf and to be installed from pip?. by your method i will have the name list of packages. and in new env those packages will be installed from pip again. but the problem is i have custom built packages which had dependent configurations with each other

From the very end of this documentation page:
Save packages for future use:
conda list --export > package-list.txt
Reinstall packages from an export file:
conda create -n myenv --file package-list.txt

If conda list --export failes like this ...
Executing conda list --export > package-list.txt creates a file which looks like this:
# This file may be used to create an environment using:
# $ conda create --name <env> --file <this file>
# platform: win-64
_tflow_1100_select=0.0.1=gpu
absl-py=0.5.0=py_0
astor=0.7.1=py_0
...
But creating a new environment by executing conda create -n myenv --file package-list.txt gives me this error:
Solving environment: ...working... failed
PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:
- markdown==2.6.11=py_0
...
... then try to use conda env export
According to this discussion execute the following command on your source machine:
source activate yourEnvironment
conda env export --no-builds > file.txt
On the target machine execute:
conda env create --file /path/to/file.txt
The file generated by conda env export looks a bit different, but it contains pip packages as well:
name: yourEnvironment
channels:
- conda-forge
- defaults
dependencies:
- absl-py=0.5.0
...
- pip:
- astroid==2.0.4
...
