Anaconda Environment Setup

Caveat

This is a preliminary set of requirements files for Conda environments. Since some of the packages used by msticpy are not available as Conda recipes, we have divided the package requirements into conda-installable and pip-installable requirements files.

Using pip installs into a Conda environment will invalidate some of Conda's dependency tracking so please do this in a dedicated Conda environment - as shown below.

Installation Steps

Packages available from Conda or Conda forge are installable using the conda/conda-reqs.txt. No version constraints are included in these package specs. Conda will automatically install the latest compatible versions of these packages. If you have an up-to-date version of Anaconda these versions should be compatible with msticpy.

Create your Conda environment

conda create --name my_env_name python=3.10
conda activate my_env_name

Append the Microsoft and Conda-Forge channels

Some of the Conda packages are only available from Microsoft or Conda-Forge.

conda config --append channels Microsoft conda-forge

Install the Conda packages

conda install --file {path}/conda-reqs.txt

Install pip packages

conda install pip
pip install -r {path}/conda-reqs-pip.txt

Install dev packages (optional)

Installation of these packages is only needed if you are doing development work on msticpy.

conda install --file {path}/conda-reqs-dev.txt
pip install -r {path}/conda-reqs-dev-pip.txt
