In a more simple definition, an environment is simply a directory on your computer that contains the source code that has been selected by an environment manager to be compatible with the operating system and hardware on your computer, as well as the source code of the other packages in that same environment. The compatibility between these pieces of software is referred to as _dependency,_ and tools that identify the proper versions of software are called _dependency solvers._ One commonly used example is `conda`.
