Example 03: Applications: SLiM

Goals: Demonstrate using conda to install a command-line application.


General Process

[]$ cd /project/<project-name>/<username>/ []$ mkdir software []$ cd software []$ pwd /project/<project-name>/<username>/software []$ module purge []$ module load miniconda3/24.3.0 []$ conda create -p slim_env_4.2.2 ... ## Package Plan ## environment location: /cluster/medbow/project/<project-name>/<username>/software/slim_env_4.2.2 ... # To activate this environment, use # $ conda activate /cluster/medbow/project/<project-name>/<username>/software/slim_env_4.2.2

Notice we haven’t performed any activate or install steps.

What do we notice about the installation location?


Create SLiM Environment

conda create -p ...

Using the -p option will create the environment in your current working folder.

[]$ conda install --help ... -p PATH, --prefix PATH Full path to environment location (i.e. prefix).

 


Use / Activate this Environment

This environment has no name and thus you must use the full path to activate.
