Environment setup with Anaconda

Exporting the conda environment

The environment export follows the introductions provided in : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41274007/anaconda-export-environment-file

conda env export | grep -v "^prefix: " > environment.yml

Create the environment

First, changing the environment name in environment.yml to your preferred name.

Either way, the other user then runs:

conda env create -f environment.yml

and the environment will get installed in their default conda environment path.

If you want to specify a different install path than the default for your system (not related to 'prefix' in the environment.yml), just use the -p flag followed by the required path.

conda env create -f environment.yml -p /home/user/anaconda3/envs/env_name
