Use LinuxInstallScript for Conda #2

Closed GreatEmerald closed 3 years ago

GreatEmerald commented 5 years ago

The students should be given a two-liner (git clone + bash user/install.sh from LinuxInstallScript) to get all the software ready to go so they don't need to install Conda manually, but they should still be made aware of how Conda works and how to make environments.

could your script simply replace this first block of code in the manual? image

if so, students have conda and simply start using conda (also setting up themselves a environment) in the blocks after that. That is something students should be able to do I would say.

Yes, that's what I think too, also giving a link to the docs for setting it up manually for those who want to do so.

But the latter sections explain how to add new environments; we could either leave them as-is, or explain what exactly the install script did. Maybe it's easiest to just leave them as-is, though, and just say that the environment called geoscripting was made for them, so they don't have to.

be aware that they create in module 11 another environment themselves!

GreatEmerald commented 5 years ago

Yes, that will need to be changed as well.
