Anaconda has two environment-copying tools, one is environment.yml (which is analogous to pip's requirements.txt), and the other is the "explicit" spec file, which actually points to specific files for specific packages. I've found environment.yml to fail with finicky libraries, same as requirements.txt, while the explicit spec file almost always works.
