Conda Environments

Conda as a package manager helps you to find and install packages. With the capability of environment manager, you can set up a totally separate environment to run different versions of Python. In addition, you can continue to run your usual version of Python in your normal environment. You can configure the channels required for the Conda environment creation in the .condarc file.

Note:

The supported version of Conda is 3.9.x.

You must add the miniconda/bin directory in the following path variable as shown below:

PATH=/scratch/ofsaadb/miniconda3/bin:$PATH

For proxy support, you need to manually configure the .condarc file present in the root directory.

Limitation: Conda support currently does not include linking externally created environments to the MMG application.

To configure:

Add the below in the .condarc file.

proxy_servers:

• http: http://www-proxy.idc.oracle.com:80
• https: http://www-proxy.idc.oracle.com:80

Note:

• Conda package search is restricted only to the package name and does not include versions.
• Python version displayed in the Register Conda UI.

For more details on the user roles, and permissions, see the Functions and Roles required to perform CRUD operations for Conda section.

Click Conda Environments to navigate to Environment Summary page from any other window in MMG application. You can register and manage Conda environments from this page.
