Install nodeJS inside conda environment

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?

You can even use environment.yml file to automatically manage your environments via conda. Please refer to this

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
