Run a python file that utilises conda packages with just a double-click on a file. (windows)
To run a Python file that utilizes Conda packages with just a double-click on a file in Windows, you can create a batch script that activates the Conda environment and then executes the Python script. Here's how you can do it:
Open a text editor and create a new file.
Add the following lines to the file:
batch@echo off
call <path_to_conda>/Scripts/activate.bat <conda_environment_name>
python <path_to_python_script>
pause
Replace
<path_to_conda>
with the path to your Conda installation directory, and<conda_environment_name>
with the name of the Conda environment that contains the required packages. Also, replace<path_to_python_script>
with the path to your Python script.For example, if your Conda installation is in
C:\Anaconda3
and the Conda environment name ismyenv
, and your Python script is located atC:\MyScripts\myscript.py
, the script would look like this:batch@echo off
call C:\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat myenv
python C:\MyScripts\myscript.py
pause
Save the file with a
.bat
extension, for example,run_script.bat
.
Now, you can double-click on the run_script.bat
file to execute the Python script within the specified Conda environment. The batch script will activate the Conda environment and then run the Python script using the python
command. The pause
command at the end will keep the command prompt window open after executing the script, allowing you to view any output or error messages.
Make sure you have Conda installed and the required Conda environment set up with the necessary packages for your Python script to run successfully.
