Pangeo Environment Modelserver

Introduction

A python environment is provided on modelserver so that everyone can work with the same packages. This environment is the pangeo environment visible inside jupyterhub.

Adding packages

This will changes packages system wide and not just for your user please bear in mind other people are using the system and updating all packages can break things.

To add packages to the environment you need to:

1. Login as root sudo su root and provide your password (contact sysadmin to become root on the machine)
2. Run . /etc/profile.d/conda.sh (yeah this is annoying but we need to add the conda shell scripts)
3. Run conda activate python the name of the “pangeo” kernel is actually python
4. Run your commands eg. pip install ... or conda install ... or mamba install ... (mamba = conda but quicker)
