> [!NOTE]
> The `environment.yml` and `repodata.json` files are only for this use case, `pixi-pack unpack` does not use them.
> [!NOTE]
> Both `conda` and `mamba` are always installing pip as a side effect when they install python, see [`conda`'s documentation](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/25.1.x/user-guide/configuration/settings.html#add-pip-as-python-dependency-add-pip-as-python-dependency).
> This is not different from how `pixi` works and can lead to solver errors when using `pixi-pack`'s compatibility mode since `pixi-pack` doesn't include `pip` by default.
> You can fix this issue in two ways:
>
> - Add `pip` to your `pixi.lock` file using `pixi add pip`.
> - Configuring `conda` (or `mamba`) to not install `pip` by default by running `conda config --set add_pip_as_python_dependency false` (or by adding `add_pip_as_python_dependency: False` to your `~/.condarc`)
