Often the standard kernel do not provide all features you need for your work. This might be that certain modules are not loaded or packages are not installed.
With your own kernel you can overcome that problem easily and define your own environment, in which you work.
This notebook shows you how you can build your own kernel for a **conda environment**.

## Building your own Jupyter CONDA-kernel is a three step process
Download Minconda installer
1. Download/Install Miniconda
* Miniconda3.sh
2. Create Conda Environment
* conda create
2. Create/Edit launch script for the Jupyter kernel
* kernel.sh
3. Create/Edit Jupyter kernel configuration
* kernel.json

### Settings
%% Cell type:markdown id: tags:
Selectable **CONDA_TARGET_DIR** path for the central conda installation, should be in the project filesystem
Selectable **CONDA_ENV** name, will be used to specify the environment name
Start here if you want to run the full installation.
If you want to create another environment in an existing conda setup go to **create environment**. If you want to attach yourself to an existing environment go to **create user kernel**.
Create new conda environment. The following steps can be repeated if multiple environments should be created. If the Python version differ towards the external Python version, a mix of Conda modules and external modules will not be possible
