**Description**

I'm trying to create a conda environment for this project, but it appears that the `environment.yml` file is missing.

**Steps to Reproduce**

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Clone the repository using `git clone `
2. Navigate to the repository directory
3. Run the command `conda env create -f environment.yml`
4. See error: `EnvironmentFileNotFound: '/home/ryan/Desktop/beacon/environment.yml' file not found`

**Expected behavior**

I think maybe the `environment.yml` file should be present in the repository root, and the command `conda env create -f environment.yml` should create the conda environment successfully.

**Environment (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Linux
- Conda version: conda 24.4.0
- Repository version/commit: main, latest commit
