This posting shows an easy way to provide installation of a conda environment of your open-source project.

Assumption: You use a conda environment for your project.

Exporting the environment.yml file (of your conda environment)

Creating an environment from an environment.yml file

BETTER USE --no-builds parameter

conda env export --no-builds > environment.yml

-no-builds command. This command will export the environment without the build specifications, which also removes the prefix variable. It eases the installation for others. (REF)
