NEMO2 Conda

Published: 14 May 2025 by NEMO Team

We have switched from Miniconda to miniforge for conda environments. Miniforge uses conda-forge as the default repository and does not use the Anaconda repositories. However, additional repositories can still be configured and used, such as bioconda, etc. Miniforge is a software module that you can load: module avail miniforge (alias: module avail conda). The miniforge module automatically initializes the conda environment. You do not need to run conda init to add conda to your .bashrc or .bash_profile, which can cause problems with other software or environments. After loading the Miniforge module, you can directly activate a conda environment with the command conda activate <env>.
