Building Anaconda Mandatory Packages - 6.1 Testing Python 3.6 in virtual environments

[kingaj12]

Successful up to this point, but now it seems that conda is a no-op:

[linux1@linuxoneajk ~]$ which conda
~/miniconda3/bin/conda
[linux1@linuxoneajk ~]$ conda --version
[linux1@linuxoneajk ~]$

Hi Alan, Anaconda isn't one of the package that we've been keeping current. I assumed u started from here https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/docs/wiki/Building-Anaconda? The version is quite out of date now and we haven't seen enough activities to keep it current. Are u still trying to build this old version?

Yes, I did start there. I actually solved this problem by creating a new environment. So far I am making good progress, and I am documenting my victories. I will continue working on this (from time to time).

I think that as LinuxONE gets more subscriptions you will see more demand for Anaconda package management. Linux on Z is so much faster than x86.

If you have some thoughts about a more up-to-date process, I will be happy to try them.
