Unfortunately, conda environments created in this way are *not* cross-platform. See this discussion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/willwarneratx/status/667059815827374080 In summary, some packages depend on others on a per-platform basis. Jupyter, for example, depends on "appnope" on OSX but not on Linux, so that if you do conda env export on OSX, the environment file will list appnope and will not be installable on Linux. The syntax for the .yml files is very simple, so it's very much possible to create one by hand, but you will definitely need to do so in order to get something cross-platform. Juan.
