create a conda environment

[quantumjot]

see: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#creating-an-environment-from-an-environment-yml-file

In it you can also specify:

• jupyter
• octopuslite
• pystackreg
• btrack
• anything else you use....

You can use the following syntax to get octopuslite and anything else (like cellx) that aren't on PyPI:

this is in progress buttt do you have a neater way of getting the conda env available in jupyter notebook, if i just stipulate that ipykernel is a pip dependency in the .yml file then it doesnt name the environment as i would like in the list of available kernels. when doing this myself ive been using a command similar to ipython kernel install --user --name=new-env but unsure how to do this as a default from the .yml installation.
