Anaconda

Anaconda Description: Anaconda, also known as "conda," is a tool for managing Python packages. It helps you create virtual environments for different Python and package versions. You can use Anaconda to install, remove, and update packages within your project environments. For instance you can create virtual environment for game development which requires Pygame with version of Python and you can create environment for machine learning which requires Pytorch with new version of Python.

Usage: module load Anaconda3/2022.05
