👋 Introduction
TRE Users who program in Python have acces to additional packages within Conda Forge, a curated repository for installing packages via Conda. Conda is an open source package and environment management system that is used to managing packages in various programming languages. While people who program in R may use this, it is likely more applicable to Python TRE Users.
As of January 2023, we introduced new functionality which allows TRE users to install packages available within conda-forge, without needing to make a request to HIC Support to add packages for you. This works in the same way as our CRAN proxy, which performs live scanning of packages as they are downloaded. If your workspace was created prior to January 2023, some manual changes will be required to your workspace.
As of August 2024, we also allow package installation from the Bioconda repository for bioinformatics software, enabling installation of packages like plink.
