describes how to execute a Python script on the LANTA HPC system

...

Use the ml Miniconda3/xx.xx.x command to load the Miniconda version that you want to use. If you don't specify a version, the default version (D) is loaded, which is Miniconda3/22.11.1-1.

   Miniconda3/22.11.1-1

Use "module spider" to find all possible modules and extensions.
Use "module keyword key1 key2 ..." to search for all possible modules matching any of the "keys".

Activate your environment

  1. Use the conda env list command to view a list of your environments.

  2. If you want to activate your environment such as TensorFlow-2.6.0, you can use the conda activate tensorflow-2.6.0 command.
