The Environment encompasses all software and compute resources configured for a Capsule. It is set up in the Environment Editor and stored in the /environment folder of the Capsule.
The /environment folder is invisible during a Reproducible Run, but can be accessed via any of the Cloud Workstations.
The Environment Editor allows you to configure and customize your Capsule's environment. Key functionalities include:
Selecting Compute Resources: Define the number of CPU cores, memory, and specific instance type.
Choosing a Starter Environment: Specify the foundational software in the Capsule.
Adding Packages: Install supplementary packages through integrated Package Managers.
Setting Environment Variables: Configure custom variables to be used during Capsule execution.
Creating a Post Install Script: Use the postInstall to add packages requiring special installation steps.
Attaching Secrets: Securely add sensitive credentials or tokens to your Capsule.
Steps on configuring the environment can be found in the guide.
