conda environments are not cross platform

[kdheepak]

I tried to create the conda environment on my mac and I got the following error:

1. The name of the environment in the yaml file is base, but installing a more recent version of conda will give you python 3.11 which is incompatible with some of these dependencies.

2. conda environments where dependencies are specified with hashes are not cross platform. They are for reproducible environments on the same platform (Windows / MacOS / Linux etc)

I have to remove the hash to be able to create an environment successfully.

For me on MacOS, this works:

name: opentepes
channels:
  - gurobi
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - altair=4.2.0
  - colorama=0.4.4
  - colour=0.1.5
  - gurobi=9.5.1
  - matplotlib=3.5.2
  - matplotlib-base=3.5.2
  - networkx=2.8
  - numpy=1.22.3
  - pandas=1.4.2
  - pip=22.1
  - plotly=5.8.0
  - psutil=5.9.0
  - pip:
    - gurobipy==9.5.1
    - pyomo==6.4.1

It seems like the dependencies in the package require 3.11

I see that the documentation has been updated to reflect that: 7db4ace

Maybe the conda file should be updated?

Thank you, @kdheepak; I just updated the environment file.
