conda.exceptions.EnvironmentLocationNotFound: Not a conda environment

[Hoeze]

Hi, I just tried to install this package: conda install conda-minify -c jamespreed

But when I try it out, I run into the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/anaconda/3-2019.10/bin/conda-minify", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

conda.exceptions.EnvironmentLocationNotFound: Not a conda environment: /opt/anaconda/3-2019.10/bin

Also, is there a way to get this package into conda-forge?

Never mind, I just found my mistake(s):

1. Always install conda-minify to the base environment. Otherwise it's not able to resolve the conda environments.
2. Run it like conda run --name base conda-minify -n <env_of_interest>

Shouldn't this lifesaver tip be included in the package main page usage instructions?

This project is pretty stale as I simply have not had time to dedicate to it. I am sorry for that. The future of the project is to use only environment YAML files https://github.com/jamespreed/conda-minify/issues/13#issuecomment-1611550690
