Adding new Conda environment to Jupyter Notebook

Follow these steps on the terminal, cmd, or powershell

Create new environment

The most basic way is by using this command

conda create --name myenv

Replace myenv with the name of the new environment.

To create an environment with a specific version of Python:

conda create -n myenv python=3.11

You may also create new environment from an environment.yml file. This might come handy when working with multiple machines

conda env create -f environment.yml

Alternatively, you might want to clone existing environment instead

conda create --name myclone --clone myenv

Replace <myclone> with the name of the new environment and <my-env> name of the existing environment to be copied.

Activate the new environment

To activate the new environment use the command

conda activate myenv

Replace myenv with the name of the new environment or directory path

New lines on the terminal should now starts with (myenv)

You may now install the packages you need with your preferred package management. To avoid update conflicts, conda is preferred.

Install ipykernel

The next step is to install ipykernel. Enter this command while (myenv) is active

conda install -c anaconda ipykernel

Then enter this command in the terminal

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=myenv

The new environment should now be available in Jupyter Notebook
