Software install directions and good practices

[bhaymele]

Hi!

I have a couple of questions about software installation:
1. Do the sysadmins advice against installing software in the home directory?
2. Installing it in my home directory will make it also available through sbatch and srun?
3. I am vaguely familiar with bioconda/conda but I am not sure how to proceed with the installation of new packages: can I use

Code: Select all

conda install

Do I do that on the front-end or through sbatch?

Cheers,
Bruno
