A Linux environment is needed to install and use Miniconda, a minimal installer for conda.
wget
links below are for example. Always check for the latest distributions on the official Miniconda website.
If using a Mac, download the Mac distribution:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
If using WSL or Linux, download the Linux 64-Bit Installer:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
Install Miniconda using the downloaded file:
bash Miniconda3-latest-*-x86_64.sh
Follow the prompts:
- Press
Enter
to review the license agreement. - Press
q
to exit the agreement view. - Type
yes
to accept the terms. - Press
Enter
to confirm the default installation location or enter a custom path. - When asked if you wish to initialize Miniconda3, type
yes
.
Close and reopen your terminal for the changes to take effect.
It's best practice not to install packages in the base environment. Instead, create a new environment for your project.
Summary of commands to manage environments:
Create a new environment:
conda create --name myenv
Activate the environment:
conda activate myenv
For vSNP3, please refer to the README.
For information on additional tools, see Additional Tools.
Remember, Miniconda provides a minimal set of packages. If you need additional packages, you can install them using conda install
within your activated environment.
