There are two methods to configure the environment variables for ISIS:
- 7.1 Using the provided isisVarInit.py script:
-
- To use the default values for: `$ISISROOT` and `$ISISDATA`, run the ISIS variable initialization script with default arguments:
-
- python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isisVarInit.py
-
- Executing this script with no arguments will result in $ISISROOT=$CONDA\_PREFIX and $ISISDATA=$CONDA\_PREFIX/data. The user can specify different directories for `$ISISDATA` using the optional value:
-
- python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isisVarInit.py --data-dir=[path to data directory]
-
- Now every time the isis environment is activated, $ISISROOT and $ISISDATA will be set to the values passed to isisVarInit.py.
- This does not happen retroactively, so re-activate the isis environment with one of the following commands:
-
- for Anaconda 3.4 and up - conda activate isis
- prior to Anaconda 3.4 - source activate isis

Conda has a built in method for configuring environment variables that are specific to a conda environment since version 4.8.
This version number applies only to the conda package, not to the version of miniconda or anaconda that was installed.
