You can set environment variables when an environment is activated by editing the activate.d/env_vars.sh
script. See here: https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#macos-and-linux
The key portions from that link are:
Locate the directory for the conda environment in your Terminal
window, such as/home/jsmith/anaconda3/envs/analytics
.Enter that directory and create these subdirectories and
files:cd /home/jsmith/anaconda3/envs/analytics mkdir -p ./etc/conda/activate.d mkdir -p ./etc/conda/deactivate.d touch ./etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh touch ./etc/conda/deactivate.d/env_vars.sh
Edit
./etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
as follows:#!/bin/sh export MY_KEY='secret-key-value' export MY_FILE=/path/to/my/file/
Edit
./etc/conda/deactivate.d/env_vars.sh
as follows::#!/bin/sh unset MY_KEY unset MY_FILE
When you run
conda activate analytics
, the environment
variables MY_KEY and MY_FILE are set to the values you wrote into
the file. When you runconda deactivate
, those variables are
erased.
