Allow user to install additional packages in the current environment
pierrepo opened this issue · comments
We sometimes need to install additional packages in a running environment, either because we forgot to install these packages in the environment image, either because we want to perform a new analysis that requires additional dependencies.
One solution would be to make the conda binary (and probably the base env) visible. This is related to issue plasmabio/tljh-repo2docker#39
Since the environment is running in a temporary Docker container, new packages installed with conda in the base environment will be ephemeral (and need to be reinstalled each time the user load the environment)
What's your opinion on this @jtpio?
