 A complete list of packages available though Anaconda can be found [http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/pkg-docs here].

+
+==== 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. First clone the python environment into your home directory by
+
+ {{{
+conda create -n my_root --clone=/share/apps/anaconda/2/2.5.0
+}}}
+
+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 remoce conda-env
+conda update -all
+conda install vtk
+}}}
+
+From next time, to use Anaconda python,
+ {{{
+module load anaconda
+source activate my_root
+}}}
