This page is under construction.
Miniconda is a free, miniature installation of Anaconda Distribution that includes only conda, Python, the packages they both depend on, and a small number of other useful packages. To determine the available versions of Anaconda installed use
$ vpkg_versions miniconda
VALET Package Definitions
Keep in mind the recipes provided for each cluster may include instructions on how to create a VALET package for the virtual Python environment using a script to activate the environment, called
miniconda-activate.sh.
Miniconda on Caviness
Miniconda is available through the VALET packages on Caviness clusters. To check the versions,
$ vpkg_versions miniconda Available versions in package (* = default version): [/opt/shared/valet/2.1/etc/miniconda.vpkg_yaml] miniconda A free, miniature installation of Anaconda Distribution * 25.1.1.2 Miniconda py39 25.1.1-2 for Linux (x86_64)
To load it,
$ vpkg_require miniconda/25.1.1.2 Adding package `miniconda/25.1.1.2` to your environment
Virtual Environment
By default, Conda environments are created in your home directory. However, the limited home directory quotas (20 GB) can be filled up quickly. You can create an environment in a specific path, such as your /work/workgroup directory,
conda create -p /$WORKDIR/$USER/envs/myenv
