Create virtual environments for python with conda

https://uoa-eresearch.github.io/eresearch-cookbook/recipe/2014/11/20/conda/

• Check conda is installed and available
• Update conda if necessary
• Create a virtual environment
• Activate a virtual environment
• Install additional python packages
• Deactivate a virtual environment
• Delete a virtual environment

3. Create a virtual environment for your project

1. In the terminal client enter the following where yourenvname is the name you want to call your environment, and replace x.x with the Python version you wish to use. (To see a list of available python versions first, type conda search "^python$" and press enter.)

conda create -n yourenvname python=x.x anaconda

1. Press y to proceed. This will install the Python version and all the associated anaconda packaged libraries at “path_to_your_anaconda_location/anaconda/envs/yourenvname”

4. Activate your virtual environment.

1. To activate or switch into your virtual environment, simply type the following where yourenvname is the name you gave to your environement at creation.

source activate yourenvname

1. Activating a conda environment modifies the PATH and shell variables to point to the specific isolated Python set-up you created. The command prompt will change to indicate which conda environemnt you are currently in by prepending (yourenvname). To see a list of all your environments, use the command conda info -e.

5. Install additional Python packages to a virtual environment.

1. To install additional packages only to your virtual environment, enter the following command where yourenvname is the name of your environemnt, and [package] is the name of the package you wish to install. Failure to specify “-n yourenvname” will install the package to the root Python installation.

conda install -n yourenvname [package]
