  I installed gzip package in Conda environment, then to make sure the software was there, I used "ls" command, it was not in the list. Tried to install again, system says all the packages have already installed, Why? How do I check the list of software installed in the environment? Thanks!

  Just type
  
  ```
  conda list gzip
  
  ```
  
  OR
  
  ```
  conda list | grep gzip
  
  ```
  
  OR if its installed in a given environment
  
  ```
  conda activate myenv
  
  ```
  
  or else just `activate myenv` system depending followed by either of the first two commands.
  
  It is better to use `conda-navigate` a very nice and under used GUI, and would work in this particular instance. The details are found in an earlier post I made on esentially the same question [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57701571/what-is-the-right-way-to-update-anaconda-and-conda-base-environments/57936966#57936966) together with a pretty picture.
  
  `ls` will only work if you type `ls ~/Anaconda3/bin | grep gzip` , but depends on the installation, e.g. you might have installed miniconda.
  
  Having said all that `conda` is very cool, but whatever you do NEVER use `pip` or `pip3` from this moment onwards EVER, it messes up your conda and you'll need to `env` your way out of it.
