Rocket is providing a conda channel for downloading, installing, and upgrading all Power open source Cognitive Environment components supported by Rocket. With conda, a single command can replace dozens of steps and commands previously required to install some open source products.
For example, installing TensorFlow with its dependencies formerly required over thirty steps but now can be accomplished with a single conda command.
Conda is an open source tool ideally suited for delivery and deployment of software due to its channel concept and multiple types of channels supporting varying degrees of security including file channels for air-gapped systems. Rocket has set up two channels from which you can download OpenCE open source ports using conda – one public and open to all, the other a secure channel available only to Rocket customers on a support plan.
To install Anaconda or Miniconda on your Power-based Linux see: https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html
