My Jupyter and Conda setup 2022-02-02 post

These are my notes to myseld about how to setup my jupyter environments because I always forget

Use micromamba instead of conda

Mamba is hugely faster than conda. Use minimamba installed with brew.

Put this in the ~/.condarc (which mamba obeys):

channel_priority: strict
channels:
  - conda-forge

Jupyter environmnet

Create a jupyter_env.yaml file (so that you can tear it down and rebuild it when everything explodes)

Create env from file: mamba env create -f file.yaml Remove env by name: mamba env remove -y -n envname Export only manually installed packages to file: mamba env export --from-history

name: jupyter
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - python=3.11 
  - jupyterlab
  - nb_conda_kernels # This makes conda envs visible to jupyterlab
  - jupyterlab_widgets # Makes ipywidgets work in jupyterlab

Notes: (making mamba kernels visible)[https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/nb_conda_kernels] (making ipywidgets work)[https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_install.html#installing-the-jupyterlab-extension] Can get a env yaml with conda env export --from-history

Child environments

To make other environments visible to the jupyter lab instance and make ipqidgets work (i.e for tqdm progress bars) you need two extra packags:

name: child
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - python=3.11
  - ipywidgets # The child to jupyterlab_widgets
  - ipykernel # The child to nb_conda_kernels
