Missing conda environment in 'src' folder

[Shriya M]

Hi everyone,

I have been a user and developer of SageMath for the past couple of years. I recently re-installed the development version of SageMath using conda forge on WSL. (I'm using Windows 11)

I tried creating the necessary environment - 'environment-dev-3.11-linux.yml' but there's no such environment in the source code. 

I'm curious to know what I'm missing or what the issue is.

Thanks,

Shriya.

that file does not exist anymore on the develop branch. The documentation for the develop branch has the correct file name: https://doc-develop--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/installation/conda#using-conda-to-provide-all-dependencies-for-the-sage-library

You can also try the meson setup https://doc-develop--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/installation/meson#building-from-source-using-meson (be sure your repository is completely clean when switching from the conda method, e.g., with git clean -fdx after you made sure that you saved all the files that you don't want to lose.)
