Description:

In this workshop, we will demonstrate how and why Mamba can help you with your research software installation needs. Topics covered in this workshop will include the software management utility Mamba and how it’s related to Anaconda, installing and using IPython Kernels with Jupyter Notebooks, and some tips and tricks on managing your Mamba virtual environments.

Prerequisites: Before attending this workshop, researchers new to Quest should:   

• Apply for a Quest allocation. We recommend “Research Allocation I” if you are new to Quest. If your lab has a joint Quest allocation, you can also apply to join that allocation. 

•Watch the Introduction To Quest video series to get an overview of the system, learn how to submit jobs, and become familiar with best practices. To learn more about Quest, see  About Quest. 

• Become familiar with Unix command line: see our Intro Command Line and Bash Scripting workshops and check Online Resource Guide for learning basic command line skills. 

The Topics in Research Computing Series includes a variety of workshops covering introductory topics like how to use the Quest cluster computer and submit array jobs, as well as more advanced computing topics such as profiling code on the cluster and running parallel R and Python code. The specific workshops offered may vary each quarter, so please check back for updates each quarter.
