7. Finally, setup the environment variables:

#Execute the ISIS variable initialization script with default arguments.
#This script prepares default values for: $ISISROOT, $ISISDATA, $ISISTESTDATA
To use the default values for: `$ISISROOT, $ISISDATA, $ISISTESTDATA`, run the ISIS variable initialization script with default arguments.

python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isisVarInit.py
To do this, for versions of ISIS 4.2.0 and earlier, use:

python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isis3VarInit.py

For versions of ISIS after 4.2.0, use:

python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isisVarInit.py

Executing this script with no arguments will result in $ISISDATA=$CONDA\_PREFIX/data, and $ISISTESTDATA=$CONDA\_PREFIX/testdata. The user can specify different directories for both of these optional values:

python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isisVarInit.py --data-dir=[path to data directory] --test-dir=[path to test data directory]
For ISIS 4.2.0 and earlier, use:

python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isis3VarInit.py --data-dir=[path to data directory] --test-dir=[path to test data directory]

For versions of ISIS after 4.2.0, use:

python $CONDA_PREFIX/scripts/isisVarInit.py --data-dir=[path to data directory] --test-dir=[path to test data directory]

More information about the ISISDATA environment variable and the ISIS Data Area can be found [here]("#The-ISIS-Data-Area"). Now everytime the isis environment is activated, $ISISROOT, $ISISDATA, and $ISISTESTDATA will be set to the values passed to isisVarInit.py. This does not happen retroactively, so re-activate the isis envionment with one of the following commands:
