Can I create a conda environment from multiple yaml files?

Is it possible to create a conda environment from two yaml files?

something like

conda env create -f env1.yml -f env2.yml

or create a enviornment from one yaml file, then update the environment with the second yaml file?

conda env create -f env1.yml conda env update -f env2.yml

You can use the following steps:

  • conda env create -f env1.yml (create the new environment)
  • conda env update --name env_name --file env2.yml --prune (add the additional modules)

@sam is right, see relevant github issue: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9294

A potential work around is to use conda-merge, with for example:

pip install conda-merge
conda-merge env1.yml env2.yml > env.yml
conda env create -f env.yml

Does not seem to work. conda env create only uses the final --file argument and ignores the others. conda create and conda update do not support yaml files.
