Anaconda

Installation

$ wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2019.10-Linux-x86_64.sh
$ bash Anaconda3*sh

Do you wish the installer to initialize Anaconda3
in your /gpfs/home/lleung/.bashrc ? [yes|no]
[no] >>> yes

Once installed, you will need to initialize and set up conda for your shell.

$ conda init zsh

## Restart or exec your shell
$ exec zsh

## If loaded properly, your shell should have a prefix of the environment name. Defaults to 'base'
(base) $

Tasks

Setup an R environment

To create and install a particular package in a new environment, such as R:

$ conda create -n mro_env r-essentials
$ conda activate mro_env

To deactivate, run:

(base) $ conda deactivate

Setup R Bioconda

To get Bioconda working, you will need to add the following channels first:

$ conda config --add channels defaults
$ conda config --add channels bioconda
$ conda config --add channels conda-forge

Once that is done, you can then install packages such as:

$ conda install r-metaboanalyst

Missing channels will result in a conflict and an empty UnsatisfiableError failure:

(rlang) ~ % conda create -n rmetabo -c bioconda r-metaboanalyst
