=================
Copying a package
=================

To copy a package from the channel ``conda-forge`` to a personal channel such
as ``jsmith``::

  anaconda copy conda-forge/glueviz/0.10.4 --to-owner jsmith

``conda-forge/glueviz/0.10.4`` is a "spec" and can match either of two formats:
``user/package/version`` or ``user/package/version/filename``.

Deprecated options
==================

Previously labels were called "channels", and the ``anaconda copy`` command has
deprecated options ``from-channel`` and ``to-channel`` that expect to operate
on labels.

These deprecated options should not be used.

If you attempt to use them in a command such as
``anaconda copy --from-channel conda-forge --to-channel jsmith glueviz``, you
will get an error that ``Label conda-forge does not exist``.
