Arguments#

• <REGEX>

  List only packages matching a regular expression. Without regex syntax it acts like a contains filter

Options#

• --environment (-e) <ENVIRONMENT>

  Allows listing all the packages installed in a specific environment, with an output similar to pixi list

• --sort-by <SORT_BY>

  Sorting strategy for the package table of an environment
  default: name
  options: size, name

• --json

  Whether to output in JSON format

Config Options#

• --auth-file <AUTH_FILE>

  Path to the file containing the authentication token

• --concurrent-downloads <CONCURRENT_DOWNLOADS>

  Max concurrent network requests, default is 50

• --concurrent-solves <CONCURRENT_SOLVES>

  Max concurrent solves, default is the number of CPUs

• --pinning-strategy <PINNING_STRATEGY>

  Set pinning strategy
  options: semver, minor, major, latest-up, exact-version, no-pin

• --pypi-keyring-provider <PYPI_KEYRING_PROVIDER>

  Specifies whether to use the keyring to look up credentials for PyPI
  options: disabled, subprocess

• --run-post-link-scripts

  Run post-link scripts (insecure)

• --no-symbolic-links

  Disallow symbolic links during package installation
  env: PIXI_NO_SYMBOLIC_LINKS

• --no-hard-links

  Disallow hard links during package installation
  env: PIXI_NO_HARD_LINKS

• --no-ref-links

  Disallow ref links (copy-on-write) during package installation
  env: PIXI_NO_REF_LINKS

• --tls-no-verify

  Do not verify the TLS certificate of the server

• --offline=<OFFLINE>

  Run without network access, using only cached data. Commands fail if data is missing from the cache. Pass --offline=false to override an offline setting from the configuration
  env: PIXI_OFFLINE
  options: y, yes, t, true, on, 1, n, no, f, false, off, 0

• --tls-root-certs <TLS_ROOT_CERTS>

  Which TLS root certificates to use: 'webpki' (bundled Mozilla roots) or 'system' (system store)
  env: PIXI_TLS_ROOT_CERTS

• --use-environment-activation-cache

  Use environment activation cache (experimental)

Description#

Lists global environments with their dependencies and exposed commands. Can also display all packages within a specific global environment when using the --environment flag.

All environments:

• Magenta: the name of the environment.
• Green: the packages that are explicit dependencies of the environment.
• Yellow: the binaries that are exposed.
• Dim: the version of the installed package.

Per environment:

• Green: packages that are explicitly installed.

Examples#

Every environment gets a block: its name, the version of the package it is named after, and a row per part of the manifest that has something to show. Environments holding more than one package list them under dependencies instead of in the header.

Here is an example of list of a single environment, which adds the channels, the size the environment takes up on disk, and the full package table:
