cration of an environtment

A python environtment is useful to have set-up an specific set of packages to be used for python. Folowing instructions from conda EnvironmentCreation

1. Creation of the environemnt called ‘lluis’ with ptyhon 2.7 version of codes

conda create –name lluis lluis python=2.7

1. To activate the environment

$ source activate lluis
(lluis) $

1. Knowing packages of the environtment:

$ conda list -n lluis
# packages in environment at /home/lluis.fita/datosskogul/minconda3/envs/lluis:
#
