WEBVTT 00:00.960 --> 00:06.660 In this video we learn how to update our pandas installation to the latest version so pandas are still 00:06.660 --> 00:11.690 under development and has made tremendous improvements in the last couple of months. 00:11.970 --> 00:18.580 And actually updating your pandas installation and using up to date code is in my view really essential. 00:18.870 --> 00:24.080 So using outdated code can be really painful and time consuming and annoying. 00:24.900 --> 00:32.740 So to update your installation we have to go to the anaconda prompt so we have ifl become a contact 00:32.750 --> 00:40.800 prompt and if you are using a Mac or Linux operating system then you have to open a terminal window. 00:41.220 --> 00:47.850 So we are here now in the anaconda prompt and first of all we can check all libraries and packages that 00:47.850 --> 00:54.750 are installed in our Anaconda installation and we can do this with the command to come down list 00:59.850 --> 01:07.530 and we have all packages and libraries that we have installed in our Anaconda installation and for example 01:07.530 --> 01:14.700 we can see here for example here the panda's library and we can also see the current version that we 01:14.700 --> 01:15.770 have installed. 01:15.860 --> 01:20.760 So in this case it's a diversion a zero point twenty three point four. 01:21.300 --> 01:25.590 And for example we can also see here our current installation of an umpire. 01:25.950 --> 01:29.310 So it's a version one point fifteen point one 01:34.250 --> 01:41.900 and now we can update single libraries or packages with the command kinda update and then using the 01:41.960 --> 01:42.800 library name. 01:42.800 --> 01:47.790 So for example let's assume that you want to update our pandas library. 01:48.020 --> 01:51.410 So then we have to use Condor update pandas 02:04.020 --> 02:06.800 so Anaconda is now checking for the latest pandas. 02:06.810 --> 02:08.980 Imagine that we can download. 02:09.150 --> 02:15.750 So here we can see now the following pictures will be downloaded so we not only get the pandas update 02:15.780 --> 02:21.990 to us and is there a point twenty four point one an icon that also proposes to update for example the 02:21.990 --> 02:27.330 number pi packets and we can see the following packages will be updated. 02:27.330 --> 02:33.900 So we have here the pandas package and our current installation so point twenty three point four. 02:34.410 --> 02:38.290 And we can update this two point twenty four point one. 02:38.730 --> 02:42.940 And also again we can see that the following packages will be downgraded. 02:43.050 --> 02:50.190 So by updating some packages Anaconda also ensures the best compatibility between the packages and libraries 02:50.610 --> 02:56.520 and therefore it might be the case that some packages are libraries that will be downgraded. 02:56.580 --> 02:59.070 And finally we are asked here to proceed. 02:59.070 --> 03:02.100 So either we can say here yes or no. 03:02.430 --> 03:04.950 And in this example here we do not want to proceed. 03:04.950 --> 03:06.090 So I tap here. 03:06.090 --> 03:06.650 No. 03:07.410 --> 03:13.980 And instead of updating all libraries and packages separately you can also update our full Anaconda 03:14.040 --> 03:19.470 distribution and we can do this with the command Conda update Anaconda 03:31.130 --> 03:38.030 and by updating the full Anaconda installation we are actually updating all packages and libraries and 03:38.030 --> 03:44.660 we are also installing new packages that have been added to the anaconda installation since our last 03:44.660 --> 03:47.950 update so let's have a look here 03:58.850 --> 04:04.130 so here we can see the package plan and the following packages will be downloaded. 04:04.250 --> 04:06.080 So that's quite a few here. 04:07.810 --> 04:14.200 Then the following new packages will be installed and then we have packages that will be updated. 04:14.200 --> 04:22.600 And finally we have packages that will be downgraded to ensure full compatibility between our libraries. 04:22.600 --> 04:29.860 So instead of updating all libraries and packages separately it is definitely advisable to update the 04:29.860 --> 04:32.730 full Anaconda distribution and installation. 04:32.950 --> 04:37.120 So at least for beginners this is definitely the best solution there. 04:37.420 --> 04:42.880 And by doing so you can ensure that you have actually the optimal best portfolio of all packages and 04:42.880 --> 04:46.660 libraries with the best compatibility. 04:46.660 --> 04:51.040 And again here we are asked whether you want to proceed and now we press here. 04:51.040 --> 04:51.550 Yes 04:54.900 --> 04:59.100 and I'll anacondas downloading and updating the packages 05:03.990 --> 05:06.910 so this will take a while here. 05:06.910 --> 05:08.920 So now we are finished with the update. 05:08.920 --> 05:15.940 So once again I refuse to the command kinda update Anaconda and it says all requests the packages already 05:15.950 --> 05:20.860 installed and now we can check actually again the list of packages. 05:20.860 --> 05:23.680 This is the command Condor list 05:29.710 --> 05:34.330 and we can see the list with all of the updated Pegasus 05:38.840 --> 05:45.110 and we can see for example our pandas library that we have still the version or point twenty three point 05:45.110 --> 05:46.010 four. 05:46.040 --> 05:52.760 So the latest version is actually the version o point twenty four but for compatibility reasons the 05:52.760 --> 06:01.100 best and most stable version this is the 0 point twenty three but this will certainly change in the 06:01.100 --> 06:02.140 near future. 06:02.480 --> 06:09.770 So if you nevertheless want to update pandas to the latest version then we can do so with a condo update 06:09.770 --> 06:10.840 pandas. 06:10.940 --> 06:16.190 But the best ways actually to stick here to the optimal Anaconda installation. 06:16.220 --> 06:16.730 All right. 06:16.730 --> 06:23.940 With this we are finishing with the video on updating pandas and also Python and the full Anaconda installation. 06:24.020 --> 06:28.850 So my recommendation is to frequently update your installation. 06:28.850 --> 06:33.140 So thanks for watching and I hope to see you also in the next video by.
