Anaconda Packages

November 22, 2024

Access to commercial channels and software repositories of Anaconda Inc. has been blocked DESY-wide with immediate effect.

Anaconda Inc. meanwhile considers research institutions like DESY as commercial users, for which corresponding usage fees apply. To prevent accidental use of non-free services it has been decided to block access to the Anaconda Inc. repositories (repo.anaconda.com) from the DESY network with immediate effect.

Existing conda environments and the Windows DSM installations will not be affected. Access to conda-forge and all other free channels hosted on anaconda.org will still be possible. Only the access to the non-free anaconda channels and download of the Anaconda Inc. provided installers (anaconda, miniconda) will not be possible anymore. We recommend to use miniforge (https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge) instead. Please get in touch with UCO (uco@desy.de) in the very unlikely case of problems due to the blocking of the commercial anaconda channels.
