Should work across all systems.

Not an expert of conda, but can't we do conda install --file requirements.txt ?

Not sure if this will work, but I know we can do conda env create -f environment.yml to create the environment from a environment.yml file.

I just tested conda install --file requirements.txt in my conda environment (Windows 10), here is the error log:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Got it, could you provide an environment.yml then, with versions for each library, to avoid future breaking changes?
