Requirements

Installation Requirements

  • A valid Anaconda Workgroup or Enterprise subscription and license
  • One or more 64-bit Linux machines
  • Supported Linux Distributions: RHEL/CentOS 6 and 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04
  • Each machine should have the following commands installed and available:
    • ssh
    • openssl
    • curl
    • md5sum

Security and Account Requirements

One of the following configurations can be used during installation:

  • Access to the root user with the root password
  • Access to the root user with an SSH keypair
  • Passwordless SSH/sudo enabled for a user account
  • Password-based SSH and passwordless sudo enabled for a user account

The root or user credentials used for installation should match on all of the nodes.

Python Requirements

Anaconda Adam operates independently from the system installation of Python. The Anaconda platform components install their own versions of Python via Anaconda or Miniconda. Therefore, existing framework installations of Python are not affected by Anaconda Adam or Anaconda platform components.

Network Requirements

Network and security settings should be properly configured to allow access to and from each node (e.g., iptables and SELinux).

Below is a list of network ports used by Anaconda platform components. These ports can be configured during the installation process.

Platform Component Port
Anaconda Adam (SSH) 22
Anaconda Adam (Salt) 14505
Anaconda Adam (Salt) 14506
Anaconda Adam (Salt REST API) 18000
Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks (UI) 80
Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks (Gateway) 8089
Anaconda Repository (UI) 8080
Anaconda Scale (Dask/Distributed) 8786
Anaconda Scale (Dask/Distributed UI) 8787
Anaconda Scale (Jupyter Notebook UI) 8888

Network ports with a browser UI should be accessible by machines outside of the network of Anaconda platform nodes. Network ports without a browser UI should be accessible between the other Anaconda platform nodes.
