conda and managing environments

[k8hertweck]

Proposed Domain CompDemo, but with mentions in the places indicated below

Content Summary We mention conda in the Python section, and we mention environments in the computing environments section, but never do the two meet. It would be great to include some basic reference material, including:

• Introduction to Conda for (Data) Scientists
• conda on HPC

Other questions include:

• why care about managing environments?
• difference between source and activate?
• modules vs conda? (referenced in second source above)
• Anaconda vs Miniconda

Local Content Expert(s) Suggest any Fred Hutch based experts who we might ask to contribute (GitHub ID is preferred, but name of someone and/or desired expertise is ok too).

On-premise computing: what is required may depend on how the user's environment is set up, and how they want to use the environment:

conda init

. /app/software/Anaconda3/2020.02/etc/profile.d/conda.sh (but should this be in the module?)
