What is the idea?

anaconda used to have these "shared environment files". The idea was to make it is easy to install pretty complicated environments quickly.

I would like to recreate something similar for users that do not have conda installed at all.

This would allow:

1. Providing users a "small" download.
2. That download pulls in a much more elaborate installer

Why is this needed?

Running

conda env update --file SOME_SPEC_FILE

after the creation of the base environment

What should happen?

Downloading optimized packaged based on cpu capabilities and potentially GPU.

Additional Context
