I am having trouble going through a proxy for Anaconda install conda on a Windows 7 machine. How do I use a proxy?

the above link is broken, use this one instead

I had to create a .condarc file at the C:\Users\username folder.

Use copy con .condarc file if it does not exist at folder above.

File content is:

proxy_servers: http: https: 

Two notes:

• Do not use tabs, there must be space between http: and
• You might not have a username and password for the proxy. Leave out the username:password part and it will still work

On Windows 10 you need to set up additionally the domain name in the .condarc:

channels: - admin
show_channel_urls: true
allow_other_channels: true
proxy_servers: http: https:
ssl_verify: true

On windows 10 machine also. Following accepted answer's format gives a load error, invalid YAML.

Changing '//' to '\' fixed the issue for me.

proxy_servers: http: http:\username::8080 https: https:\username::8080

In my case on a linux machine behind a McAfee web-gateway proxy, only the following setup worked for conda (I removed the http proxy): hostname:~ # cat .condarc proxy_servers: https: \user:password@server:port

hostname# conda install tensorflow Solving environment: done
