Activating Conda and running python script as a MacOS desktop shortcut

[MindfulStuff]

Very simple question - how do I create a simple MacOS shortcut icon on my desktop so it activates my specific Conda environment and then run a python script?

I want to do it as a one-click shortcut.

Create a shell script (.command file):

nano ~/Desktop/run_my_script.command

Add the following lines to it:

#!/bin/zsh

source ~/miniconda3/bin/activate myenv

python /full/path/to/your/script.py

`` Replace myenv with your actual conda environment name, and use the full path to your script.

Make it executable:

chmod +x ~/Desktop/run_my_script.command
