Issues with 'conda env update'

if @dillon’s issue is the same as what’s going around the forums right now, then I think there’s a hacky fix – my guess is jupyter_contrib_nbextensions is causing problems.

Fix:

  1. comment out the 4 jupyter lines in environment.yml
  2. run conda env update
  3. manually install the packages that weren’t installed (mkl-random, cython, etc)
  4. manually install the 4 jupyter packages that you commented out.
