I have downloaded and installed the standalone version of Spyder version 5 and mini conda.

With the help of the community I have now been able to create new environments.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to update all the packages within an environment using the standalone version of Spyder version 5 and mini conda?

Thank you.

It doesn't matter if you installed Anaconda or Miniconda or what IDE (Spyder, VSCode) you are using. The command you are looking for is

conda update -n <myenv> --all

where <myenv> is the name of your environment. Note that you have to issue that command in your shell, preferably the Anaconda prompt or cmd on Windows.
