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
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
.
