Installing new version of Anaconda Python

  • Download new version from web site using wget
  • su – appl and execute downloaded *.sh file
  • Install into /usr/local/apps/anaconda/Anaconda-version, where version is the complete version name that you are installing.
  • Copy .condarc from the most recent Anaconda directory to the new one. This tells conda to put downloaded packages in the user’s home directory, rather than some global path.
  • Create a new python modulefile by copying the most recent one. Edit name and PATH in new modulefile.
  • Edit .version file in python modulefile directory to point to newest version.
  • Load python module and ensure correct Python is loaded.
  • At its request, I did run:
    conda update -n base -c defaults conda
    to update conda itself, along with lots of other packages.
  • conda install conda-forge::mamba
