How do I manage Python packages with pip and conda?

What are the main differences between pip and conda?

Pip is the package installer for Python, while conda is a package manager that can handle packages from any language. Pip installs Python packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI), whereas conda installs packages from its own repository.

When should I use pip instead of conda?

You should use pip when you need to install packages that are only available on PyPI. Conda is better for managing environments and dependencies.

Can I use both pip and conda in the same project?

Yes, but it's recommended to use one package manager to avoid conflicts. If you use both, install conda packages first, then pip packages.

How do I create a virtual environment with conda?

You can create a virtual environment with conda using the command: conda create --name myenv and then activate it with conda activate myenv.
