A version of this has been [asked and answered before](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/multiple-conda-environments/22530), but the key bit of infomration needed to get a precise answer for JupyterHub is:

- which Spawner is being used
- who is creating the envs, and
- when are envs created

In general, the short answer for making an environment available as a kernel is to run:

```bash
/path/to/env-name/bin/ipython-kernel install --prefix /path/to/singleuser-server-env --name env-name

```

for each env and make sure that all users have sufficient permission (read+execute) in the env. But this will look a little different if you are using containers (e.g. KubeSpawner) where this is done in the _image_ vs multiple system users on a shared system (e.g. the default Spawner or systemd).
