Sure, I should eventually do a requirements file. For now the dependency list is small, and for this post I think it was actually valuable to show how to install packages in conda. After all, that is super easy as long as the package is in the conda repos.
I like to use conda because that introduces the linux-like terminal even on windows, and once I have that everything is much easier.
I try to avoid pip whenever it is possible because it easily breaks the conda environment. There is a good discussion on that here. Unforntunately, its not always possible.
Now I finally know why I had a hard time with conda sometimes...
Love conda for its ease to use and visual overview.
I had my fair share of broken environments in the past because of the bad interaction of pip and conda. 😫
