environment.yml

######################### Environment Setup Instructions #########################
#
# This environment.yml file is used to create a Conda environment. It ensures that
# all necessary dependencies are installed in a controlled environment.
#
#
# How to use:
# - To create the environment, run:
#   '''bash
#   conda env create -f environment.yml
#   '''
# - This will set up an environment named 'py312_GA_env' with Python 3.12.5 and
#   all required dependencies.
# - After creation, activate the environment using:
#   '''bash
#   conda activate py312_GA_env
#   '''
#   - Additionally, for Anaconda users, some standard packages not listed in the
#   requirements.txt file will also be installed due to pre-packaged installations
#   settings of the user's base environment. Note that this does not apply to
#   Miniconda, which installs only the packages explicitly requested.
