use of ./env may be confusing

[lexnederbragt]

in 03-using-packages-and-channels, the command conda install tensorflow=1.14 --channel conda-forge --prefix ./env uses ./env as folder name. At the workshop today, this confused learners as they used had learned about conda env. Maybe use --prefix ./my_env instead?

Thanks for the feedback. The reason that I call the directory env is that this directory is included in the default Python .gitignore file which helps prevent user from accidentally version controlling the environment directory. I believe that the directory venv is also ignored but I will need to check.

At a minimum I will put a call out box to clearly differentiate between the conda env command and the env directory into which the environment is installed.
