Description
What would you like to see?
Lots of our users are not familiar with setting up python or virtual environments, causing some particular issues for dealing with the R and python mixed environment issues.
We should add a page to the docs with from-scratch recommended python setup instructions. e.g.
- Install a conda environment manager (mamba)
- Install an IDE such as vs code
- Create a project folder
- Create a new conda environment for soundscapy, using mamba
- How to open a Jupyter notebook, etc. in the IDE and connect to the conda environment
- etc.
