6 years ago Before cleaning up my 'messy' niche installations here, I could use Jupyter Notebook from the Anaconda Navigator and run niche models without activating niche in the prompt. With the new cleaned up installation, I will always need to activate niche from the prompt and to start Jupyter from the prompt, is it correct? Using Jupyter notebook from the Anaconda navigator is not possible anymore?
Using jupyter notebook from the Anaconda navigator is only possible if you follow the Alternative installation. In principle, I like this approach a bit more, but because we ran into issues on some computers when doing this (can not find gcs.csv errors) I have switched the install to an environment. In this environment, I exactly say which version of every package has to be installed. That way I'm sure that everyone is using the same version that I tested as well.
Niche Python Package question
Related to point 2 in #91 The documentation still mentions "activate niche_vlaanderen" instead of "activate niche" under subsections "running niche" and "optionally - Jupyter Notebook"
Could you confirm that the "activate" commando should systematically be ran from the prompt before using niche (thus not only after installation / update)? If this is the case, it might be useful to mention it at the top of the "Getting started" section, and not only in the installation section (when you will have NICHE installed, you probably will not read the installation section again before starting)
And a question related to #96 and my own past as niche tester: Before cleaning up my 'messy' niche installations here, I could use Jupyter Notebook from the Anaconda Navigator and run niche models without activating niche in the prompt. With the new cleaned up installation, I will always need to activate niche from the prompt and to start Jupyter from the prompt, is it correct? Using Jupyter notebook from the Anaconda navigator is not possible anymore?
