Miniforge
Software description
Miniforge provides the “conda” and “mamba” tools to set up and manage conda runtime environments. The configuration of conda provided by this module uses the conda-forge channel for package installations. A conda runtime environment is a set of packages that provide precise versions of some desired software and its dependencies. These environments helps ensure reproducible behavior across different systems. The Miniforge module provides both “conda” and “mamba”. The latter is a faster, generally improved, drop-in replacement for “conda”. You should be able to issue the same commands with either “conda” or “mamba” interchangably. (The difference between the this module, named “Miniforge”, and setups using “miniconda” distributed by Anaconda, is that while the latter provides essentially the same command “conda”, it is configured for using channels of packages provided by the Anaconda company, for which their terms-of-service apply which imposes some relevant restrictions.) IMPORTANT: LOADING THIS MODULE DOES NOT BY ITSELF CHANGE YOUR PYTHON VERSION OR PROVIDE ANY PYTHON PACKAGES. You must use the ‘conda’ or ‘mamba’ commands to create a conda environments and activate it to get access to any packaged software.
