==== Install Packages to Anaconda Python ==== 'conda' is the command to add packages to Anaconda python distribution. However, since you don't have a permission in /share/apps/anaconda, it won't work. There is a workaround. Here, for example, we want to add 'vtk' python wrapper library. {{{ conda install vtk }}} But you will see an error message with an instruction for the workaround. Following the instruction, you have to clone the python environment into your home directory by {{{ conda create -n my_root --clone=/share/apps/anaconda/2/2.5.0 }}} 'my_root' is the name of environment that you decide. Then, {{{ source activate my_root }}} Finally, you can install the package, {{{ conda install vtk }}} In case you encounter "Error: 'conda' can only be installed into the root environment", try {{{ conda remove conda-build conda remove conda-env conda install vtk }}} From next time, to use Anaconda python with your environment, {{{ module load anaconda source activate my_root }}} You have to state above commands in your script when you run python on batch jobs.
