Description
This issue can lead to several PRs on the same page in the contributors guide:
- In the section about using Docker to create an environment, there is a helpful note reminding contributors that they will need to remember and reuse the command to build (and rebuild) the C-extension. It is possible that contributors who aren't using the docker option will never read this and face issues. Please edit the page to make this visible and clear to all contributors.
- In the section about installing pandas update the installation command to
mamba env create -f environment.yml
. See "The following argument was not expected: create" when creating environment pandas-dev/pandas#49959. - Add a comment that if installing packages using conda or pip is falling, one can try to use conda or mamba install with
-c conda-forge
since it has more packages - Add a comment for windows users that it is recommended they use WSL. polars have a comment to this effect https://github.com/pola-rs/polars/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-local-environment.
- Rename the mamba section to
Creating a conda-style environment (Mamba recommended)
. Clarify that these instructions apply to using conda or mamba. Both will work, mamba will be faster. - In the mamba section, at the line that says “
cd
to the pandas source directory” add: " you just created with the clone command." - In the docker section, before running the docker command, add some a concise explanation that clarifies the command needs to run from where the library where docker file is saved locally.
- We direct folks to the community slack for support only after at the end of the mamba section. Add a similar direction at the top of the page, so everyone can easily find out they can get support with set-up.
