Conda activate on install

[Daniel Brown]

Hi all,

I have some C binary I want to distribute via conda, it requires some environment variables being set properly to work. So far my package on install creates the activate.d files fine, but this requires the user reactivate their environment to load the new variables.

Does anyone know if it is possible to either display a message when a package is installed to the user asking them to reload, or if it is possible to tell conda to run the new activate.d scripts?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Daniel,

(i) You could create a post-link.sh file with the following contents in the recipe:

$ cat post-link.sh
#!/bin/bash
cat << EOF >> "${PREFIX}"/.messages.txt
   Hi there! Please reactivate the environment after installing this package.
   - Your friendly package manager
EOF

OR

(ii) Wait for conda 4.4 to be released. See https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/5292 and https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/5292 

Cheers!
