Avoiding reinstallation of anaconda3 in the first script #67

Closed rsnk96 closed 4 years ago

rsnk96 commented 4 years ago

Right now, in the first script, anaconda is forcefully re-installed every time the script is run. But this is not being done in the manner it should be ideally (shift the envs in /opt/anaconda3/envs to a backup folder, remove the folder and then reinstall it). We should either cleanly do this, or not reinstall anaconda if it is already installed.

@rajat2004 what's your take on which route is better?

I think not installing it might be better, maybe prompt the user to do it, or else an argument could be added to the script such as --force-conda-install to forcefully do the same There's also a anaconda-clean package, which does something similar Will need to think about it, but both options seem good
