Anaconda provides Python and a long list of packages as well as Jupyter and environment and package manager conda and pip.
Many bioinformatics software is distributed via Anaconda.
To use anaconda on Spartan, load the required anaconda module. You can then set the conda environment path, create a conda environment, install packages, and use it in a job.

By default, conda creates environments in your home directory, which only has a 50GB limit. With many conda environments, this space can be easily filled.
You can change this path using the environment variable CONDA_ENVS_PATH.
To change the conda environments location to a project directory (e.g. /data/gpfs/projects/punim0001), add this to your ~/.bash_profile file
