Migrating to Miniforge

To migrate from the Anaconda module to Miniforge requires a few steps.

Please run once:

1. Run:

   conda init --reverse

2. close terminal and open a new one (there shouldn't be a "(base)" in front of the prompt after opening a new terminal.

3. Run:

   module reset
   module load lang/Miniforge3/24.1.2-0
   conda init
   source ~/.bashrc

   Now you will be using conda from the Miniforge3 module. In your ~/.bashrc there should now be a line like:

   __conda_setup="$('/opt/software/pc2/EB-SW/software/Miniforge3/24.1.2-0/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"

   It is important that it mentions Miniforge3.

4. Make sure that you are using the free conda channels, esp. conda-forge. Run:

   conda config --add channels conda-forge

5. Unless you are really sure that you have a valid Anaconda license (see https://legal.anaconda.com/policies/en/, esp. the section about organizational use and https://www.anaconda.com/blog/is-conda-free for a more understandable summary), also run the following to remove the Anaconda channels:

   conda config --remove channels defaults

Alternatives

Python virtual environments described in the article about the Python modules are a good alternative to Anaconda/conda/…
