A CLI tool to initialize Conda environments.

Installation

You can use this package without installing it by using npx:

Or you can install it globally:

npm install -g conda-init

Usage

Run the command:

conda-init [env_name] [python_version] [--create]

• env_name (optional): The name of the Conda environment. If not provided, it will use the current directory name.
• python_version (optional): The Python version to use. Default is 3.10.14.
• --create (optional): Automatically create the Conda environment after generating the environment.yml file.

If you don't provide the environment name or Python version, the script will prompt you for input.
