 Hi,

I would like to use Spyder in an environment that is deployed offline using  Conda-Pack.

Conda-Pack makes it very easy to deploy an offline environment, but:

  • The environment needs to be activated with the Scripts\activate.bat script.
  • Conda-Pack does not package the base environment. Therefore, there is no conda executable available in the target environment.
When I try to launch Spyder, I receive the following error message in the console window: 

    Spyder couldn't find conda or mamba in your system to activate the kernel's environment. Please add the directory where the conda or mamba executable is located to your PATH environment variable for it to be detected.

Is it possible to configure Spyder to use the activate.bat script to activate the environment instead of using conda?

I'm using Spyder 6.0.7.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards
