# Steps for a new environment: 

# Basic command layout to create a new environment: (don't call this! replace with the environment name and python version you want!)
mamba create --name <your_environment_name> python=3.X

# e.g., this will create a new environment called "test_env" that uses python 3.8
mamba create --name test_env python=3.8

# Install whatever modules you need (don't call this!)
mamba install <module>

# e.g. this will install ipython:
mamba install ipython

# Install a specific version of scipy:
mamba install scipy=0.15.0

# (install whatever else you need; maybe from a script??)

# You can use pip to install too, but best to use pip AFTER you use mamba or conda!
pip install h5py

# Finally, add the kernel for this environment to jupyter, such that jupyter will know about it
ipython kernel install --user --name test_env

# More: 

# New environment from a yml file:
# (This is how we create the environment for this class - all packages and 
# versions thereof that we want to install are listed in this environment.yml file)
mamba env create -f environment.yml

# List available environments:
conda env list

# List available jupyter kernels:
jupyer kernelspec list

# Remove jupyter kernel
jupyter kernelspec remove test_env
