Another approach could be adding a ``environment.yml`` to your project and declare the ``alfasim-sdk`` inside the ``pip`` dependencies.
Alternatively, an ``environment.yml`` can be added to your project and ``alfasim-sdk`` can be declared at ``pip`` dependencies.

Pyinvoke tasks
--------------

Except for creating the plugin structure, all other activities that you might want to perform, you will use ``pyinvoke`` tasks.

Below there is detailed list on what they are meant to do. However, in general, the tasks that you will use the most are ``compile``,
``package`` and ``update``.
Once the plugin structure is created, you can perform all necessary activities using ``pyinvoke`` tasks, with ``compile``, ``package`` and ``update`` beeing the
most commonly used during plugin development. Below you can find a list of all available along with their descriptions.
