Importing a Conda Environment Into a Pixi Workspace

If the erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml file describes an environment called erddap-obs-matching, you can import that environment into your workspace with:

$ pixi import erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml

That command:

• adds a Pixi feature called erddap-obs-matching

• adds channels and dependencies from the erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml file to the feature

• adds the feature to a Pixi environment called erddap-obs-matching

Then,

$ pixi install -e erddap-obs-matching

creates the erddap-obs-matching environment and installs the dependencies, updating the Pixi lock file with those details to ensure reproducibility.

You can run commands in the environment with commands like:

$ pixi run -e erddap-obs-matching python -m my_module

When you are happy that the environment is working as you expect, clean up by removing the erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml environment description file, and the erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml conda environment:

$ rm erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml
$ conda env remove -n erddap-obs-matching

Then commit and push the changes to pixi.toml and pixi.lock, and the removal of erddap-obs-matching/environment.yaml.
