Bulk package updates using Conda

Is there a way (using conda update) that I can list outdated packages and select or bulk update (compatible) packages in Anaconda?

It doesn't make much sense updating the packages individually as there are hundreds of them.

You want conda update --all.

conda search --outdated will show outdated packages, and conda update --all will update them (note that the latter will not update you from Python 2 to Python 3, but the former will show Python as being outdated if you do use Python 2).


Thanks for the answer. I use python 2. Is it possible to filter the outdated for a particular installed version(py27_0)? does conda update all updates only compatible version for my py27 environment?
Yes, conda update --all will only install packages that are compatible with one another, and it will not update you from Python 2 to Python 3.
conda search --outdated shows you all the available versions of each installed AND outdated package, that is a bit too much in many cases,,, Personally I prefer to use conda update --all, that shows what's going to be installed and prompts for confirmation: you reply N and you have a compact list of outdated packages.
conda update --all also differs from conda search --outdated in that it runs through the solver, meaning some packages that have newer versions may not be updated if other packages have dependency restrictions (or, for example, conda update --all won't update from Python 2.7 to Python 3.4).
I have just found this blog where author Jake VanderPlas gives some term explanations regarding Anaconda and conda. It answered many questions I had.

Before you proceed to conda update --all command, first update conda with conda update conda command if you haven't update it for a long time. It happent to me (Python 2.7.13 on Anaconda 64 bits).


64 bit, you mean?
At the very least, probably would have made more sense as a comment than as an answer.
"It happened to me", what happened to you?

the Conda Package Manager is almost ready for beta testing, but it will not be fully integrated until the release of Spyder 2.4 (https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/Roadmap). As soon as we have it ready for testing we will post something on the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spyderlib). Be sure to subscribe

Cheers!
