Customizing your Hub¶
Adding software: Conda Environments¶
You can create any number of personal conda environments where you have complete control over the software available. To create and activate a new conda environment, run the following in a terminal:
$ conda create -n my_environment python=3
$ conda activate my_environment
Feel free to change “my_environment” to any environment name you desire. After activating the environment, you can use conda
and pip
commands to install any software you desire.
It may be helpful to install the mamba
software, a faster version of conda
:
$ conda install mamba
If the ipykernel
package is installed in the environment, it will automatically show up in your list of kernels and be available for use in a Jupyter notebook.
To install ipykernel
use this command,
$ conda install ipykernel
or
$ mamba install ipykernel
Important
These environments are only accessible to you (they’re personal).
