Create environments and install packages

A good practice is creates a virtual environment with conda (or virtualenv) because create a isolated python environment.

$ conda env create -f conda_environment.yml
$ conda activate spklib # if you have problems with it, try windows: activate spklib linux: source activate spklib

or use virtualenv

$ virtualenv --python=python3.7 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r requirements_git.txt
