Specifying a conda environment with `environment.yml`

Conda environment with environment.yml

Notes

The environment.yml file should list all Python libraries on which your notebooks depend, specified as though they were created using the following conda commands:

conda activate example-environment
conda env export --from-history -f environment.yml

Note that the only libraries available to you will be the ones specified in the environment.yml, so be sure to include everything that you need!

Also note that if you skip the --from-history, conda may include OS-specific packages in environment.yml, which you would have to manually prune from environment.yml. For example, confirmed macOS-specific packages that should be removed are:

• libcxxabi=4.0.1
• appnope=0.1.0
• libgfortran=3.0.1
• libcxx=4.0.1
