Shell script running Python code from within conda env using macOS Automator

Question

How can I run a shell script from within a conda env using macOS Automator ? Normally I would do:

source activate my_conda_env
python script.py

But the above does not work in Automator . The error I receive is regarding missing modules (those only installed in my_conda_env ), which indicates that the script is not started from my_conda_env .

Answer 1

This is what you'll need

/Users/UserFolder/anaconda/envs/env-name/bin/python3 script.py

If you don't find anaconda under your UserFolder. You'll have to find it,

• Activate your Conda environment

• Use this which python , to find the address of your python.

• copy that

• paste it before the script file

  /Copied/Address/ script.py

This will use the packages from the specified conda environment.
