»Anaconda

Anaconda is a distribution of the Python and Rprogramming languages for scientific computing (data science, machine learning applications, large-scale data processing, predictive analytics, etc.), that aims to simplify package management and deployment.

Anaconda distribution comes with over 250 packages automatically installed, and over 7,500 additional open-source packages can be installed from PyPI, as well as the conda package and virtual environment manager.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Anaconda has updated its terms of service.

Miniforge, coupled with the Mamba utility, is an alternative way to access Python and Python-related software on RTS resources, including the Keck cluster, especially for scientific computing.
