Goal: Introduce how conda environments can be reproduced and shared.
Based on Managing Environments.
Clone an Environment
[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda create --help ... options: ... --clone ENV Create a new environment as a copy of an existing local environment. ...
Example
[salexan5@mblog2 software]$ conda create -p py_env2 --clone py_env Retrieving notices: ...working... done Source: /home/salexan5/.conda/envs/py_env Destination: /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/py_env2 Packages: 39 Files: 1 ... # # To activate this environment, use # $ conda activate /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/py_env2
Using Cloned Environment
Notice how you need to activate/use this cloned environment:
[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ cat ~/.conda/environments.txt /home/salexan5/.conda/envs/py_env /project/arcc/salexan5/conda/envs/r_env /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/slim_env_4.2.2 /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/py_env2 [salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda info --env # conda environments: # base /apps/u/opt/linux/miniconda3/24.3.0 /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/py_env2 /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/slim_env_4.2.2 py_env /home/salexan5/.conda/envs/py_env r_env /project/arcc/salexan5/conda/envs/r_env
Need to define the full path to activate.
[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda activate /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/py_env2 (/cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/py_env2) [salexan5@mblog2 ~]$
Export an Environment
[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda activate r_env (r_env) [salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda env export > r_env.yml (r_env) [salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda deactivate [salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ cat r_env.yml name: r_env channels: - conda-forge - defaults dependencies: - _libgcc_mutex=0.1=main ... - zstd=1.5.5=hc292b87_2 prefix: /project/arcc/salexan5/conda/envs/r_env
Conda env command
[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ conda env --help usage: conda env [-h] command ... positional arguments: command config Configure a conda environment. create Create an environment based on an environment definition file. export Export a given environment list List the Conda environments. remove Remove an environment. update Update the current environment based on environment file. options: -h, --help Show this help message and exit.
Import an Environment
[salexan5@mblog2 software]$ conda env create -p r_env2 --file r_env.yml ... # # To activate this environment, use # # $ conda activate /cluster/medbow/project/arcc/salexan5/software/r_env2 ...
