Details

This function prepares the SCP Python environment by checking if conda is installed, creating a new conda environment if needed, installing the required packages, and setting up the Python environment for use with SCP. In order to create the environment, this function requires the path to the conda binary. If conda is set to "auto", it will attempt to automatically find the conda binary. If a conda environment with the specified name already exists and force is set to FALSE, the function will use the existing environment. If force set to TRUE, the existing environment will be recreated. Note that recreating the environment will remove any existing data in the environment. The function also checks if the package versions in the environment meet the requirements specified by the version parameter. The default is 3.8-1.
