MATLAB utility to switch between Anaconda environments

condalab

Handy MATLAB utility to switch between conda environments from within MATLAB

Installation

1. Download this repo and add to path.
2. Determine where your base conda installation by opening a terminal and typing which conda. Make a note of that path.
3. Type conda init in your MATLAB terminal. It should prompt you for the path you got in step 2.

Usage

condalab works exactly like conda.

So if you want to list the environments you have, you can use

% yes, type this in your matlab prompt
conda env list 

base     /Users/srinivas/anaconda3
*umap     /Users/srinivas/anaconda3/envs/umap

and the * indicates the currently active environment.

To switch environments, use

% yes, type this in your matlab prompt
conda activate umap

To check that everything worked, you can run

conda.test

The python executable I am using is located at:
/Users/srinivas/anaconda3/envs/umap/bin/python

and you see that it is using the right environment.

It's that simple. Enjoy.
