Anaconda parcels - installing new package, using conda?

avatar
Explorer

Hi there,

 

I've installed successfullly the anaconda parcel but how do I installed new packages on this distrib  ? I mean, how do I use conda?

Should I add conda to PATH, if so where is by default ? The documentation is not clear 😞

 

Thx for help,

Mehdi

Yeah I already had a look over there.

 

So I solved this by adding to my PATH, the ../cloudera/parcels/Anaconda/bin:$PATH"

After I was able to use conda command and pip install BUT when installing a new package, it doesn't install to the cluster, so need to manually install on each machine...

Thanks, I have the same problem.

Could anyone explain if it is correct to manually install new packages on every node ?

Is this a functionality you aquire with commercial Anaconda only?

Thanks

I am able to do this by running (or adding this to your ~/.bashrc)

 

export PATH=/opt/cloudera/parcels/Anaconda/bin:$PATH

 

After this conda, pip, and python commands all defaulted to the Anaconda version.

Hi,

 

Does this PATH variable need adding to every node in the Cluster where the parcels have been delivered?

Putting Anaconda's bin in front of $PATH is a bit dangerous thing to do. It contains binaries like iconv, curl so you suddenly end calling them instead or original ones ....

Hi,
What do you suggest instead to overcome this issue? I mean being able to use something like ansible and ask all the node to run conda install ... ?

put it at the end of  $PATH  .....
