Anaconda2-2019.03 (Jul. 4, 2019)

Usage

There so many detailed guides of conda/anaconda elsewhere on the internet. Please also check them.
 

Initialization

You can activate conda settings by loading initialization script.

bash, zsh:

% . /local/apl/lx/anaconda2-2019Jul/conda_init.sh

csh (tcsh):

% source /local/apl/lx/anaconda2-2019Jul/conda_init.csh

Upon this stage, you may be in the "base" environment. The environment name will be shown at the far left on your prompt like the following example.

(base) %

 

Environments

  • base: base environment, can be considered as default environment.
    • python 2.7.16
    • numpy 1.16.4, scipy 1.2.1, pandas 0.24.2, pyyaml 5.1.1, pillow 6.0.0
    • tensorflow 1.14.0, keras 2.2.4, chainer 5.3.0, pytorch 1.1.0
      • GPU packages are not installed. This contains popular python packages for academic research and CPU version packages for deep learning (tensorflow, keras, pytorch, chainer).
  • chainer_gpu: Chainer GPU environment.
    • python 2.7.16
    • chainer 5.3.0, cupy 6.0.0, cudatoolkit 9.0
  • pytorch_gpu: PyTorch GPU environment.
    • python 2.7.16
    • pytorch(-gpu) 1.1.0, torchvision(-gpu) 0.3.0, cudatoolkit 9.0
  • tensorflow_gpu: TensorFlow + Keras GPU environment.
    • python 2.7.16
    • tensorflow(-gpu) 1.13.1, keras(-gpu) 2.2.4, cudatoolkit 9.0

The installed packages in the environments above won't be updated. In other word, environments will be kept intact.
New version of packages will be installed upon creating new environments or creating another anaconda installation.
 

Switching Environments

You can change environment by executing "conda active" command after the initialization of conda itself.

Example:

(base) % conda activate pytorch_gpu
(pytorch_gpu) %

Current environment name will be shown at the leftmost of the prompt regardless of your login shell type (csh or bash or zsh).
You can exit from the conda environment by "conda deactivate" command.

Example:

(pytorch_gpu) % conda deactivate
(base) % conda deactivate
%

 

Creating your own environment

Users cannot add packages in this anaconda directory, since this anaconda is installed in the system domain (/local/apl/lx).
Instead, you can build your own conda environment using this pre-installed anaconda.
The new environment files will be placed under ~/.conda directory in the default setting.

Example: new anaconda env creation ("myenv" is your new environment name):

(base) % conda create -n myenv anaconda

Example: clone "base" environment ("myenv" is your new environment name):

(base) % conda create -n myenv --clone base

(note: conda_init.sh, conda_init.csh, samples_rccs/ will also be cloned. You can remove those files after the cloning.)

You can also directly install anaconda (or miniconda) under your home directory.
If you need a very special environment, this way may be a better solution.
 

Run MNIST sample

MNIST sample scripts are available in /local/apl/lx/anaconda2-2019Jul/samples_rccs directory.
You can run them just by copying directory and submit by using jsub.
The script initializes conda, chooses environment if necessary, and then run MNIST sample.

Note: if your login shell is csh and try to run GPU sample, you may need to modify script (see script).

tensorflow exmaple:

% cp -r /local/apl/lx/anaconda2-2019Jul/samples_rccs/tensorflow/ ~/tensorflow_sample_mnist
% cd ~/tensorflow_sample_mnist
% jsub -q PN sample-tensorflow-cpu.sh

(MNIST data is downloaded on /local/apl/lx/anaconda2-2019Jul/samples_rccs/datasets in advance. Please note that computation nodes cannot access internet.)

 

Extra: Install packages without conda envs

You can also install packages under your home directory via "pip" or "pip3" command without conda.

Example: (--user is the key option, this is required.)

% pip install cupy-cuda91 chainer --user

(use pip3 instead of pip if you are using Python3)

Installation Procedure

The following commands are run by root. Most of logs are cut, since it is too long.

base environment (non-GPU env)

% sh Anaconda2-2019.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
...
Anaconda2 will now be installed into this location:
/root/anaconda2

  - Press ENTER to confirm the location
  - Press CTRL-C to abort the installation
  - Or specify a different location below
