Build conda environment for the course

Make sure you have completed the VSCode set-up before creating the environment.

1. Open VSCode on your computer.

2. Download the following YAML file and move it into your eds220-in-class directory: https://github.com/MEDS-eds-220/MEDS-eds-220-course/blob/main/eds220-env.yml

3. Open a bash terminal inside VSCode and in it:

   1. Verify you are in the eds220-in-class directory.

   2. Verify that the eds220-env.yml file is in the directory.

   3. Run the following conda command to build the environment used for the course:

   conda env create --name eds220-env --file eds220-env.yml

It will take about 15 minutes to build the environment. Once conda has finished, verify that the environment was created by running conda env list.
