Configure a conda virtual environment

Ensure that Anaconda or Miniconda is downloaded and installed on your computer, and you're aware of a path to its executable file.

For more information, refer to the installation instructions.

Do one of the following:

• Press CtrlAlt0S to open Settings and go to Project: workspace | Python Interpreter. Click the Add Interpreter link next to the list of the available interpreters.

• Click the Python Interpreter selector and choose Interpreter Settings. Click the Add Interpreter link next to the list of the available interpreters.

• In the context menu of an attached directory, select Interpreter.

Select Add Local Interpreter.

In the left-hand pane of the Add Python Interpreter dialog, select Conda Environment.

The following actions depend on whether you want to create a new conda environment or to use an existing one.

New conda environment

• Select the Python version from the list.

• Normally, DataSpell will detect conda installation.

  Otherwise, specify the location of the conda executable, or click to browse for it.

• Specify the environment name.

Existing conda environment

• Choose the desired environment from the list.

The selected conda environment will be reused for the current project.

Click OK to complete the task.
