====== Anaconda ======

[[https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/|Anaconda]] is a package manager, an environment manager, a Python/R data science distribution, and a collection of over 1,500+ open source packages. Anaconda is free and easy to install, and it offers free community support.

To determine the available versions of Anaconda installed use

<code>
$ vpkg_versions anaconda
</code>

<note warning> Warning: The company that develops Anaconda has recently begun charging for use of the ''defaults'' channel. Terms and conditions that might provide an exception for use at a university are not yet clear. The ''conda-forge'' channel is still available for free, regardless. DO NOT use Anaconda channels!
</note>
===== VALET Package Definitions =====

<note important>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 ''anaconda-activate.sh'' or ''anaconda-activate-2020.sh''. Which one to use depends on the version of Python you loaded to create the Python virtual environment, in which case the general rule of thumb is if the Python version is 2020 or newer, then use ''activate-anaconda-2020.sh'' otherwise use ''activate-anaconda.sh''. </note>
