Conda Config for easy Notebook Kernel selection

#allows selection of specific environment in Jupyter notebook
conda install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=<your_env_name> --display-name "Your Env Name"
conda install nb_conda

#example - setup spaCy environment, creating a kernelspec
conda create --name myspacy python=3.6
. activate myspacy
conda install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=myspacy  
conda install nb_conda

#spaCy - default English model
conda install spacy
python -m spacy download en

When deleting an existing env where you have previously created a kernelspec (see above), you may need/want to delete said kernelspec here: ~.local\share\jupyter\kernels (so that it doesn't show up any longer)
