Override location of project environments #121

Closed mcg1969 closed 7 months ago

mcg1969 commented 1 year ago

anaconda-project offers the environment variable ANACONDA_PROJECT_ENVS_PATH as a means to override the location where environments are created. By default of course they go in ./envs/<name>, but we may have reason to home the environments outside of the project itself.

This variable actually accepts a comma-separated list of values. New environments are created in the first writable directory on the path.

You can see how anaconda-project does this here: https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/anaconda-project/blob/master/anaconda_project/env_spec.py#L318-L348
