About the Default Conda Environment

Graph Studio uses the basegraph environment as the default Conda environment.

For instance, before you start creating or downloading a Conda environment, run the Conda info command in a Conda paragraph:

As seen in the preceding output, the basegraph environment is set as the default Conda environment. To view the default packages in the basegraph environment, you can run the Conda list command.

It is important to note the following:

• It is recommended that you do not install any third-party Python library in the default basegraph environment.

• The oracle-pypgx-client package, which is required to work with PyPGX APIs, is available in the basegraph environment by default. Therefore, to work using this graph Python client library along with other external Python packages, you must create a Conda environment by copying the default basegraph environment. See step-2 in Create and Publish a Conda Environment for an example.
