Template for a conda environment

There should be one of these files for every source code project. Copy the environment.yaml into your source code tree.

Basic Usage

1. Adjust dependencies

For this, edit environment.yaml

2. Create an environment

conda env create -f environment.yaml

3. Activate the created environment.

conda activate test-project

4. Making changes to the environment

To change the environment, adjust environment.yaml. Do this instead of directly calling conda install because this forces all of the dependencies to be resolved at the same time, which from experience works better than resolving the dependency versions separately.

After making the changes to your environment.yaml, run this:

conda env update -f environment.yaml
