Recreating Conda Environments

Conda environments are backed up using the script at scripts/conda-env-export-all. This results in two files being generated for each environment: $ENVIRONMENT.yml and $ENVIRONMENT.txt. The yml file is used to initially recreate the environment from the packages that had been directly requested. Then the txt file is used to recreate any packages installed in develop mode. The txt file can also be used to compare with exact versions of the backup.

NOTE: the next two steps are now combined in the command recreate-conda-env $ENVIRONMENT, located in scripts.

To initially recreate the environment:

$CONDA env create -n $ENVIRONMENT -f $ENVIRONMENT.yml

where $CONDA can be either conda or mamba.

To reinstall developer installations:

dev-install -c dev-installs.yml -e $ENVIRONMENT $ENVIRONMENT.txt

The dev-install script is scripts/dev-install. The dev-installs.yml contains a mapping packages that maps to a name, directory, and install for each packages. Defaults for directory and install can be given in a global defaults key. Some recognized special variables: $NAME, $PYTHON.

defaults:
  directory: ~/pysrc/$NAME
  install: $PYTHON -m pip install -e .

packages:
  - name: nep29
    # uses default directory/install
  - name: contact-map
    directory: ~/pysrc/contact_map
    install: $PYTHON setup.py install
