Hi all, As we are getting ready for our incoming couple of workshops I can not make my mind clear about Linux Python installation using Anaconda. Let's see...
Following the workshop webpage instructions definitely does not work as if you leave the last question, not mentioned in the guide, as by default : Do you wish the installer to initialize Anaconda3 by running conda init? [yes|no] [no] >>> you don't get conda's python "activated". If you answer "yes" to this, then you have the (base) environment *always* appearing in new terminal sessions, which I think it will create confusion in the previous bash session. I'm planning about modifying the instructions so that you say "yes" to the "conda init", followed by typing: conda config --set auto_activate_base false Now, in the Python lesson setup we should instruct to do "conda activate" first, and explain that is a kind of "magic" in order to have python active. How are you dealing with this in your workshops? Bests, Iñigo PS: I guess this applies also to MacOS, and I have yet to go through the Windows installation instructions... -- Iñigo Aldazabal Mensa, Ph.D. Computing Service Manager / Scientific Computing Specialist Centro de Física de Materiales (CSIC, UPV/EHU) Paseo Manuel de Lardizabal, 5 20018 San Sebastian - Guipuzcoa SPAIN phone: +34-943-01-8780 e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] pgp key id: 0xDBCC8369 ------------------------------------------ The Carpentries: discuss Permalink: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T9bb18732d8abc483-M0a425ed3d3c2cf910f0807cc Delivery options: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
