Installing condax in ~/.condax?

pmlandwehr opened this issue · comments

It seems sensible to install condax itself in an isolated environment. Is

conda create --name condax --channel conda-forge --path ~/.condax/condax condax
ln -s ~/.condax/condax/bin/condax ~/.local/bin/condax

a good practice? If so, I'd be happy to update the README.

(Sidebar: would it let you use condax update condax to update itself?)

This could be better implemented with a bootstrap script that uses micromamba to initialize condax into the condax prefix, so you don't even need conda or pip to be pre-installed.
I think condax could be able to update itself (didn't test it), but it should be prevented from removing itself.
