Hi there,
In the cookbook it is recommended that a profile be created for a shell
environment in order to prevent various dependencies from being garbage
collected, as well as to better manage updating and maintaining the
required packages. If this profile is added to a user account, would they
have access to the software from that profile globally, or just in the
directory where the project is located?
If globally, I can imagine that there would potentially be conflicting
versions, filesystems, etc. - see my recent post/query regarding a 32-bit
shell environment.
Kind Regards
Gareth

I am busy watching Andrew Tropin's videos about per-project RDE (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4hyNgXswik) and they are very
instructional.
