<p>I installed gzip package in Conda environment, then  to make sure the software was there, I used &quot;ls&quot; 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!</p>

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.
