Kevin Kho · Answer

You mean like a conda environment or venv

Kevin Kho · Answer

I would just attempt `helper script= conda activate myenv ` but I honestly don t know if it will stick I guess you can try that and then check the python version

Your bash or shell of choice needs to be able to support the command i think

Kevin Kho · Answer

I can t get it to work Looks like more configuration has to be done but you can test like this ```from prefect tasks shell import ShellTask shell = ShellTask helper script= source ~ anaconda3 bin activate fugue tutorials return all=True log stderr=True stream output=True shell run command = pip show fugue ```
