To add to that, Anaconda is for the data science ecosystem as NPM for TypeScript. For that reason, it is often assumed that people do know. (Also, automatic tests with GitHub Actions, and similar tools, do wonders to make dependencies explicit AND tested.) However, personally, I always link to such dependencies. "Obviousness" is a subjective criterion. It takes someone coming from a different language (or ecosystem), and it takes quite a lot of guesswork to figure out what to install. And if things do not work - it gives no clue if they are missing dependencies, incompatible versions of software, or maybe neither - there is something wrong with the code.
