Conda 1st time install conflicts with existing python install

I tried:

conda create -n "eeg-notebooks"

conda activate "eeg-notebooks"

conda install git

conda install pip

git clone https://github.com/NeuroTechX/eeg-notebooks

cd eeg-notebooks

pip install -r requirements.txt

but encountered errors on the last step, since it tried to use my existing python 2 install on my Mac.

@m9h helped me using a different set of instructions.

This is very surprising to me. If you ran conda activate "eeg-notebooks" in the same shell as you later ran pip then shouldn’t that override any system pip install by placing the conda env bin path early in the $PATH env var? (that’s at least how plain venv and similar behave)

Curious how that wasn’t the case. What was the difference that fixed it for you?

@retiutut I made a docs PR #51 that should help avoid similar issues in the future.
