Puppet module for installing anaconda, managing environments, and installing conda packages.

(Testing on OS X and Ubuntu)

Git clone this repo into your puppet modules directory. Then you can test it using the snippet below in a file and running puppet apply.

File: test2.pp

# Install anaconda into /opt/anaconda
include anaconda

# Create env named test1 with python3.3
anaconda::env{test1:
    anaconda_version => "4.2.0",
    python           => "3.6",
}

# Create env named test2 - /opt/anaconda/envs/test2
# Use python in /opt/anaconda/envs/test2/bin/python
anaconda::env{test2:}  

# Install packages into root env
anaconda::package{dnspython: }

# Install packages into env test2
anaconda::package{dnspython: env => "test2" }

# The env test2 is a dependency when installing packages into it
# Install a number of packages into test2
anaconda::env{test2:}
anaconda::package{[dnspython,rope, py]: 
    env => "test2"
}

Run using this command where --modulepath points to the directory where you have installed this puppet module:

puppet apply modules/anaconda/test2.pp --modulepath=modules

  $conda_r_installs = [ 
                'r', 'r-essentials', 'r-irkernel', 
                'bokeh', 'ggplot', 'ggplot2',
                'r-matrix', 'r-nlme', 'r-lme4',
                'dplyr', 'shiny',
                'tidyr', 'caret', 'nnet'
                ]
                
  anaconda::env { r:
    anaconda_version => '4.4',
    language         => 'r'
  } ->

  anaconda::package { $conda_r_installs:
    env      => 'r',
    language => 'r'
  }

This class simply installs Anaconda into /opt/anaconda and accepts the license agreement. The path is hardcoded for now.

define anaconda::env( $anaconda_version='1.5', $python='2.7')

Create a Python environment. Overriding the anaconda_version, or python version will create the env with the appropriate versions.

Default: '4.4.0'

Default: 'python'

The timeout used for the exec puppet resource. The time is in seconds.
Default: '300'

In future versions, this could be a true package provider, but for now it is just a defined type.

define anaconda::package( $env=undef, $base_path='/opt/anaconda')
...
anaconda::env{"test2":}
anaconda::package{[dnspython,rope, py]: 
    env => "test2"
}

If you set the env, you create a dependency on a anaconda::env type that matchs the env. It will not auto-create the environment if you forget the dependency.

Channels are the path that conda takes to look for packages. Details can be found here.

The name of the channel to add.
Default: $title

The path to the base directory of anaconda.
Default: '/opt/anaconda'

• Create a true package provider
• Allow installation path to be defined - hard-coded to /opt/anaconda
• Packages cannot be specified with versions -- they install the latest version valid in the env.
