Conda Environments

Like virtual environments, conda environments follow the same paradigm of isolating dependencies for a package or a model. But, they exist globally and are saved in a single location. Further, they don't need to be limited to installation of python packages.

Description

Currently, Conda based requirements cannot be determined automatically. But, one can pass them manually.

In addition to installing conda packages, pip based packages (gathered from the model) will also be installed in the conda environment.

Preparation

Make sure that conda command line utility is installed and is accessible.

Generating a new conda environment

$ mlem build conda --model model --target newenv \
    --conda_reqs.0.package_name xtensor \
    --conda_reqs.1.package_name openssl

If the target is not passed, the default name for the new environment is venv.

Other options include using:

  • --python_version 3.7 — to use a custom python version, by default it is inferred automatically.
  • --current_env True — whether to install the requirements in a currently activated conda environment.

While options for passing a list of conda requirements include:

  • --conda_reqs.0.package_name — name of the conda package
  • --conda_reqs.0.spec — denotes selectors for a package such as '>=1.8,<2' (optional)
  • --conda_reqs.0.channel_name — denotes the channel from which a package is to be installed (default is conda-forge)
