How to handle story-specific packages

[lukehare]

Summary

We need to decide how to handle installation/use of story-specific packages.

What needs to be done?

Some options include:

• Add them to the binder/environment.yml file, which would install them for all stories, and in the binder environment.
• Inline installation in the story itself, which may not be to everyone's preference
• Broader changes to the repository structure to allow for separate environments/binder links (See related Repository structure / scalability #160)
• Anything else...

Who can help?

Anyone and everyone!

I think a couple of weeks ago we said we might try to look at conda environment channels, i.e create a channel per story and investigate Binder would deal with this.

Could we try to demo this in the next story to be published (#187), @lukehare do you think it will be easy to test it?
