Use Conda environment in pycharm

Question

Conda env is activated using source activate env_name.

How can I activate the environment in pycharm ?

Answer 1

How about environment.yml

Pycharm can create a new conda environment indeed. Unfortunately, until this issue is fixed, it won't offer environment.yml support, which means it won't install the dependencies declared there.

When working on a project based on such a file, you need to create / update the dedicated env manually on your machine:

conda env create -n 

Then remember to update each time environment.yml changes (from you or upstream).

conda env update -n
