You can export your conda environment with: conda env export > environment.yml which produces a human readable file. I think, conda packages are "just" tarballs. So you could read the environment.yml, obtain the right conda packages, and then un-tar them. Something to try out. I think by default conda packages uploaded to binstar do not have the recipe for making them attached/linked. A bit like pushing a docker image to a registry without publishing the Dockerfile. T
