How to install without creating a new environment

[SimaoMarto-ecosmic]

The installation guide says to run conda env create -f environment.yaml, which creates a new environment called "tudat-space". But is there a way to install tudatpy in an existing environment?

It seems that the following command works, if it's a conda environment:
conda env update -f environment.yaml - run with the environment-to-be-updated active

Great, thanks for answering your own question :) If you just want to install the tudatpy package, yoy can also do:

conda install -c tudat-team tudatpy

But, I think your solution will be more robust

You can also conda activate [env_name] and then use either conda install [pkg_name] or conda update [pkg_name] (adding an option for a channel if you wish).

NB: As you can read here, it's worth noting the difference between update and install and that, despite the name, update is not always the best choice when you want to "update" an environment because of the difference in the way they handle dependencies.
