How to install the same package in several conda environments?

I have a list of several conda environment that I am using for different projects. For example:

└[3417]± conda env list                                                                                             
# conda environments:
#
base                     /????/anaconda2
analysis_eel_data     *  /????/anaconda2/envs/analysis_eel_data
explore_cora             /????/anaconda2/envs/explore_cora
pygmt                    /????/anaconda2/envs/pygmt
python3                  /????/anaconda2/envs/python3
test_cookiecutter_pj1    /????/anaconda2/envs/test_cookiecutter_pj1

I was wondering if there is an 'easy' way to install the same package in several conda environments?

By easy, I mean a solution that could hold in one or two command lines?

Correct me if I am wrong, I think that pip could be a solution if I want the new package install in all my environments? [I was wrong]

I am also open for a solution using pip if it is easier than conda

I didn't find anything on this in the conda documentation

There's no inbuilt functionality of conda to do this. The simplest way is to write a bash/shell script that can install the package of your interest in multiple environments.

We can find the path of your env using the command conda env list. Using this, the script would look something like this

for env in $(conda env list); 
    do conda install -n $env <package_name>; 
done

Also, note that this will install it in every env and not equivalently the same as several as you mentioned. In this case, we would simply need an if-conditional to determine to install in that env or not.
