Python
A easy/flexible way for using python is via Miniforge (a light weight version of conda-forge). This enables users to have a full fledged python environment under their own control. Here is the example of how to setup Miniforge inside user’s home directory.
| Code Block |
|---|
$ wget "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh" $ bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh # During the installation, ***do NOT init***, as we will do it properly later. You can undo this by running `conda init --reverse $SHELL`? [yes|no] [no] >>> no # To use the conda command, you need to add the ~/miniforge3/condabin directory to # the PATH environment variable. Some old guides use "conda init" but it seems to point # conda not mamba. To setup mamba properly: $ ~/miniforge3/condabin/mamba init # Prevent auto activate the base env. True this is confusing, you need to use conda # here. $ conda config --set auto_activate_base false |
| Note |
|---|
The use of Miniforge/Conda may consume lots of disk space (for installed packages and downloaded cache). Please watch out for your home directory space quota. |
Managed Miniforge
A centrally managed Miniforge is also provided, its path is:
| Code Block |
|---|
/share/apps/z_install_tree/linux-generic/miniforge3/ |
It aims to centrally provide some of the popular/common environments, ready to be used by everyone straightaway, avoids duplications and wasting users' disk space.
| Code Block |
|---|
$ /share/apps/z_install_tree/linux-generic/miniforge3/bin/mamba env list # conda environments: # base /share/apps/z_install_tree/linux-generic/miniforge3 pytorch_cu118 /share/apps/z_install_tree/linux-generic/miniforge3/envs/pytorch_cu118 pytorch_cu121 /share/apps/z_install_tree/linux-generic/miniforge3/envs/pytorch_cu121 |
