Conda¶
Conda is a package manager allowing you to easily and safely fetch dependencies.
Note
Conda allows you to install binary packages without requiring you to have root access. The only requirement is that you have access to the Internet.
Create Environment¶
You only need to create the conda environment once
wget -N https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
Note
You can always remove ~/miniconda3 and start all over again.
Activate Environment¶
You will need to activate the conda environment
source ~/miniconda3/bin/activate
This step will override your environment variables and ensure you’re working with well known dependencies.
Note
You should activate the conda environment again, if you start a new terminal.
Install a Package¶
A package from one of the default channels
conda install -y gflags
A package from the Roq hosted conda repository
conda install -y --channel https://roq-trading.com/conda/stable \
roq-api
