Installing conda for packaging mirroring¶
To help improve performance and security, Anaconda Enterprise enables you to create a local copy of an online package repository so users can access the packages from a centralized, on-premises location. This copy is called a mirror. A mirror can be complete, partial, or include specific packages or types of packages.
The Anaconda Enterprise installer contains a bootstrap executable that you can run to install conda.
Prerequisites:
To install conda:
In a terminal window, navigate to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the Anaconda Enterprise installer, replacing
<version>
with your specific version number:Run the following command to verify whether the
bzip2
package is installed:
If the command returns a valid package, you can run the bootstrap executable. Otherwise use your package manager to install the binary, using either yum install bzip2
or apt-get install bzip2
.
Run the following command to run the bootstrap executable:
Type
yes
when prompted to accept the end user license agreement (EULA).Accept the default path, or enter an alternate path when prompted.
When prompted, type
yes
to activate the conda commmand at shell initialization.Re-initialize your terminal for the previous steps to take effect:
Now that you’ve installed conda, you can configure access to the source of the packages to be mirrored, whether an online repository or a tarball (if an air-gapped installation). Then you’ll be ready to begin mirroring channels and packages.
