title: Why doesn't a new Conda environment come with packages like numpy?
body: <p>I am going through the painful process of learning how to manage packages/ different (virtual) environments in Python/Anaconda. I was told that Anaconda is basically a python installation with all the packages I need (e.g. numpy, scipy, sci-kit learn etc). </p>
  
  <p>However, when I create a new environment, none of these packages is readily available. I cannot import them when using PyCharm with the newly created environment. When I check the Pycharm project interpreter, or the anaconda navigator environments tab, It seems that indeed none of these packages are installed in my new environments. <strong>Why</strong> is this? It doesn't make sense to me to provide all these packages, but then not make them ready for use when creating new environments. Do I have to install all these packages manually in new env's or am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>Kindest regards, and thanks in advance.</p>
