I like how documentation is getting more compact and direct.
I agree. This is a big step forward, for everyone, but especially
for first timers.
I wonder if installation instructions could go from the most
newbie friendly to the not so newbie ones (maybe after releasing
5.5). So installation should start from the most common used
installation method of the intended platform and then go to more
powerful ones.
Heh. The eternal tension. Perhaps you could have a conversation with
Lewis Neal.
If the miniconda method progress, Lewis could help in creating the yaml
manifest for Mac, instead of the brew installer... I started thinking in
this, installation method, but as the mail progressed miniconda seems
...
I was wondering how Python related projects do this nowadays. One
path is Conda and, particularly, Miniconda which manages
dependencies and is already packaged for several platforms [1],
but seems that a full installation can be overkill for Leo and its
prerequisites
[2].
Overkill, maybe, but I think it is useful overkill. Installing the
full Anaconda package (or packages, if you install for both Python 2
and 3) saves a lot of time in the long run. I'm not looking for
anything better. Besides, these days even small machines typically
have huge memories.
Yes. I will start with miniconda and see what we can bootstrap from
there. Connectivity is not the same in the Global South and Leo has
users in India and Colombia. Reducing the amount of stuff you have to
download to start with Leo is important to make it global.
In the Jupyter case the map they provide [3] gives the user and
overview of what they want to do, based on the answer the user
gives to a question, and they use the external installer method
(in their case Anaconda) to the final installation, making it
pretty easy [4] ('cause the heavy work is done by conda and not
the user/developer). Conda can be also used to upgrade the
software, including updating/building from git[5]
I think this is just fine or Leo too.
I agree. I will try miniconda for my python related stuff (is not much
these days) and try to give feedback.
Cheers,
Offray
