Choose the base interpreter from the list, or click and find the desired Python executable in your file system.
Select the Inherit global site-packages checkbox if you want all packages installed in the global Python on your machine to be added to the virtual environment you're going to create. This checkbox corresponds to the
--system-site-packages

Specify the location of the new conda environment in the Location field, or click and browse for the desired location in your file system. The directory for the new conda environment should be empty.
Select the Python version from the list.

Choose the base interpreter from the list, or click and find the desired Python executable in your file system.
If you have added the base binary directory to your
PATH
environmental variable, you don't need to set any additional options: the path to the pipenv executable will be autodetected.If the pipenv executable is not found, follow the pipenv installation procedure to discover the executable path, and then specify it in the dialog.
