Conda deployment on Longhorn

Usage

This is meant to both deploy and maintain the conda environment on a PowerAI system. User documentation for interacting with the resulting deployment can be found here.

Initial deployment

To create a conda installation in $PWD/conda/4.8.3 run the following:

# Create base conda
make conda/4.8.3

# Cache packages using 4 cores
make -j 4 update

# Create environments
make environments

# Create LMOD moduels
make modules

This creates the following files and directories in your $PWD:

• conda/4.8.3 - conda deployment
• pkgs_backup.tar.gz - backup of all cached packages
• modulefiles - LMOD modulefiles for environments and packages

Updating an existing cache

New packages in the IBM WML that are not in conda/4.8.3/pkgs will be downloaded, unpackaged, and finally added to pkgs_backup.tar.gz

make -j 4 update
