Managing Conda environment for the project

In order to get all the dependencies in place for the python packages we use the conda environment in this project.

Miniconda is a cross-platform package manager that allows managing dependencies and creates a corresponding python environment.

1. Install miniconda

2. Create the rsl-env environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Alternatively, when creating a new environment without YAML file, use:

conda env create -n my_environment_name

3. Update the rsl-env environment:

conda-env update -n rsl-env -f environment.yml

4. Activate the rsl-env environment: Mac and Linux: source activate rsl-env

5. Remove the rsl-env environment (delete the corresponding python packages): conda env remove --name rsl-env
