Install Miniconda in your home directory

What is conda?

Anaconda, and its lighter brother Miniconda (conda for short), are package managers. See the official website for more informations.

How to install it

Check the miniconda download page. From there you can right-click on the appropriate installer and copy the remote URL to download it.

After you download the installer you can run it without any parameter for an interactive installation, or specify where to install it for an unattended installation.

Commands:

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/miniconda/

After installing, we need to activate it:

eval "$(~/miniconda/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"
conda init

Let's try it

Search for the n50 package in the bioconda channel, if found install it.

conda search -c bioconda n50

conda install -c bioconda n50
