Due to the anaconda ToS changes, using conda-forge avoids that learners may be in breach of the ToS after they leave the workshop. This has been discussed in Carpentries #genral Slack and a pip alternative is provided at #837.
It provides instructions to create a
swc
environment is created with the basic needs for the workshops (includes explicitly bothnumpy
for the inflammation lesson andpandas
for the gapminder).This, however, has the added difficulty to require that learners change environment (
conda activate swc
) and startjupyter
from the terminal and not from a launcher (as anaconda provides for Windows and macOS).I've tried to find up a way to get jupyter installed in the base env, and provide instructions to create a shortcut, but it becomes too cumbersome, plus it would only benefit Windows users. A comment has been left there to inform future attempts.
