Python Common Issues

Do not install packages on the login nodes or inside a Jupyter Notebook. It has to be done in a terminal/shell:
```
$ interactive -t 30 -p htc
$ ml mamba
```
Avoid installing any packages in the base environment. If (base) shows in your prompt, deactivate this environment.
```
(base) [rcsparky@login01:~]$
(base) [rcsparky@login01:~]$ source deactivate
[rcsparky@login01:~]$
```
Improper use of the conda commands will inject some code into your ~/.bashrc file, which will cause problems. To remove these lines:
```
$ remove_conda_from_bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
```
Improper use of the pip install commands will create a hidden cache folder, which usually breaks Python-related functions. To check and remove such folders:
```
$ cd ~/.local/lib
$ ls
$ rm -rf python3*
$ mamba clean --all
```

How to remove an env:

$ interactive -t 60 -p htc
$ module load mamba/latest
$ mamba remove -n ENV_NAME --all
$ mamba clean --all
