Conda

Created Friday 10 March 2017

Note: in my Ubuntu laptop environment conda is not in the path. I have a script in my scripts directory that contains this line: export PATH="/home/michael/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"

Start a new terminal and change to the ~/scripts directory. Then run this: $ source start-miniconda
