Installing Micromamba

See a full micromamba tutorial for a general background

You will need to be in the “Software node” to be able to download:

# Connect to the HPC first if you are not already in the login node
ssh ${USER}@nbi.ac.uk

# Then connect to the "software node"
ssh software

Then you can download the Micromamba installer, and execute it

# This will download and run the micromamba installer
"${SHELL}" <(curl -L micro.mamba.pm/install.sh)

⚠️ Using the channels from NBI

Using nano or your favourite editor, change ~/.condarc to look like:

channel_alias: https://repo.prefix.dev/
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - bioconda
channel_priority: strict

You will probably just need to add the first line (channel_alias...). This is important, as our network block connection to the default channels.

If the “channels” list contains defaults, or r, please remove them as they are not needed and not available from our network.
