Check for `analysis` environment conflict about ncar-python-tutorial HOT 8 CLOSED

Rather than require the user to rename their environment, can we just rename ours?

from ncar-python-tutorial.

For simplicity, I renamed the analysis env from analysis --> analysis-env

from ncar-python-tutorial.

This won’t solve the problem if this repo gets used again in the future.

from ncar-python-tutorial.

There will always be name conflicts if we reuse this repo. So, I don’t think we should rename the environmental.

I am not sure what would be the right long-term solution for this issue (given that this repo might be used in the future).

If the consensus is to keep the current setup as is, feel free to close #59

from ncar-python-tutorial.

I think the issue is that @matt-long uses his analysis env regularly, and therefore doesn’t want to have to rename it or delete it. He’s probably not the only one after the June tutorial.

So, I recommend that we choose a name that nobody would ever create for their own work. Like “python-tutorial”, and we implement the env name conflict check that we talked about for this issue.

And we provide instructions to participants at the end of the tutorial on how to rename there env to something they would prefer for the long term.

Here's what I have in #59

$ ./setup/configure 
*** Found an existing Conda installation in: /Users/abanihi/opt/miniconda3/condabin/conda
*** (13:15:31) Step 1/6: Skipping Conda installation
*** (13:15:31) Step 2/6: Updating `base` environment
*** (13:16:20) Step 3/6: Checking for environment name conflict


Unable to proceed to next steps because of an existing `python-tutorial` environment and clobber is set to False

To address this issue, please try one of the following options:

(1)Create clone environment, and then remove original one:

    conda create --name new_name --clone python-tutorial

    conda remove --name python-tutorial

Or

(2)you can run the configure script with clobber set to True:

    ./setup/configure --clobber

This looks great!
