In this article I am going to detail the steps, to add the Conda environment to your Jupyter notebook.

Step 1: Create a Conda environment.

conda create --name firstEnv

once you have created the environment you will see,

output after you create your environment.

Step 2: Activate the environment using the command as shown in the console. After you activate it, you can install any package you need in this environment.

For example, I am going to install Tensorflow in this environment. The command to do so,

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

Step 3: Now you have successfully installed Tensorflow. Congratulations!!

Now comes the step to set this conda environment on your jupyter notebook, to do so please install ipykernel.

conda install -c anaconda ipykernel

After installing this,

just type,

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=firstEnv

Using the above command, I will now have this conda environment in my Jupyter notebook.

Step 4: Just check your Jupyter Notebook, to see the shining firstEnv.

Yayy!! Happy coding :)
