Adaptation to the new terms of the Anaconda license
[English version below]
Hello,
Since summer 2024, the use of Anaconda repositories has been subject to pricing (https://legal.anaconda.com/policies/). As IDRIS does not plan to purchase a license, a few measures have been put in place on Jean Zay to limit requests to paid repositories as much as possible.
1/ The new conda environments installed for you by IDRIS support will be provided using Miniforge and no longer using Anaconda. Older Anaconda-based environments will remain available and can still be completed on request. Support will take care to target open repositories such as conda-forge.
2/ The behavior of any existing conda environment on Jean Zay has been modified by deploying a configuration file /etc/conda/.condarc on all nodes with internet access (login nodes, prepost, compil, archive, visu). As a result, all installations performed by conda now target the open repository conda-forge as a priority.
3/ Despite the deployment of the new configuration file, some requests to Anaconda repositories may persist if you are using Anaconda or Miniconda. We ask you to be attentive during your installations. Finally, we strongly advise you to work with Miniforge from now on to avoid this problem. A “miniforge/24.9.0” module is already available, and new versions will be installed regularly. On the contrary, we no longer plan to maintain Anaconda modules in the future.
Please do not hesitate to contact assist@idris.fr if you have any question on this subject.
Best regards, The IDRIS Support Team
