+Although [[software:miniconda:miniconda|Miniconda]] is available on UD's clusters, [[software:miniforge:miniforge|Miniforge]] is now the recommended way to use conda for creating new virtual evironments. If you are following a recipe or instructions that use Miniconda, try loading the Miniforge VALET package instead of the Miniconda VALET package and keep all ''conda'' commands the same. Miniforge should function as a drop-in replacement for Miniconda.

+<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 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 ''miniconda-activate.sh''. </note>
