Discussion on: Stop using sudo pip install

[Ian Stokes-Rees]

Or use conda which solves this problem for Python plus many other languages and arbitrary binaries.

but conda is not per project, is it?

[Rodolfo Ferro]

You can create a specific conda environment for each proyect, and even specify the conda channel from which it is installed.

I usually create an environment.yml file for this, so I only run

$ conda env create -f environment.yml

to create the conda env.

After this I only do:

# Activate conda env:
$ conda activate (env-name)

# Deactivate conda env:
$ conda deactivate

(Depending on your Anaconda version, to activate/deactivate the env, you can use source instead of conda.)
