Install nodeJS inside conda environment

Question

I want to use NodeJS and AngularJS for a small project.

Can I use conda's virtualenv to install these packages inside a separate virtual environment, and then have them removed from the system once I delete the virtualenv?

Answer 1

You can for sure use conda to create virtual environments for nodejs programs.

$ conda create -yn myapp nodejs $ conda activate myapp $ node --version v8.11.3 $ npm --version 5.6.0 

And then in the environment myapp, you can do all of your app development and once you are done, removal is also easy:

$ conda env remove -yn myapp 

Instead of environments, you can also use prefixes. Like:

$ conda create -yp ./myapp nodejs $ conda activate ./myapp $ node --version v8.11.3 $ npm --version 5.6.0 

And once you are done, just delete it.

$ conda env remove -yp ./myapp 

OR

$ rm -fr ./myapp
