Create shared conda environment

  • create a shared location in $COMMON
    mkdir /common/GROUP/conda
    chown :GROUP conda
    chmod 770 conda
    
  • create conda env in the shared location
    module load anaconda/4.6
    conda create -p /common/GROUP/conda/new-env python=2.7
    
  • all members in this group can load this env using the absolute path
    module load anaconda/4.6
    source activate /common/GROUP/conda
    
  • To migrate existing conda env to the new location
    conda list --explicit > spec-file.txt
    conda create -p /common/GROUP/conda/new-env --file spec-file.txt
