User guide¶
Using Anaconda Scale with Anaconda Adam, you can create and manage conda
packages, including Python and R, in multiple conda environments across your
nodes. You can prepend adam scale
to a subset of familiar conda commands
to install and manage conda packages and environments across a cluster.
$ adam scale -n cluster conda --help
Usage: adam conda [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
create Create conda environment
info Get information about conda installation
install Install package(s)
list List conda packages
remove Remove package(s)
update Update package(s)
By default, the root conda environment is installed in
/opt/continuum/anaconda
on all of the cluster nodes, which can be configured
for a different location. You can manage multiple conda environments across the
same cluster, such as Python 2, Python 3 and R, without affecting the framework
installation of Python on the cluster nodes.
Getting started¶
You can get started with Anaconda Scale by using Anaconda Adam, the Anaconda platform installer. See the Anaconda Adam documentation for more information.
With Anaconda Adam, you can install Anaconda Scale on a bare-metal cluster or existing cloud-based cluster. You can also use Anaconda Scale to easily launch and provision a cloud-based cluster with Anaconda. See the Anaconda Adam installation instructions for more information.
