Creating a Conda Environment

First, read the Conda section in Mila's documentation.

Install Conda

If you still need to install a newer version of Conda, or if you want to install it on your personal computer:

make conda-install

Environment Creation

Creating a Conda Environment is relatively straightforward with the makefile.

First, make sure the name of the environment has been updated in the environment.yml file before running the following command:

make conda-create-env

Conda Environment Activation

Once created, the environment must be activated:

conda activate <name_of_environment>
