Miniconda is a lightweight Python distribution deployed on top of the Ubuntu 24.04 application template. The default shell loads the Conda environment automatically so you can start installing packages or creating environments right away.


Check your Miniconda installation

Miniconda comes preconfigured and ready to use. You can verify the version and environment details with:

conda --version conda info


Manage packages

To view everything installed in the current environment use:

conda list

To install a package:

conda install <package_name>

To update all packages and Conda itself:

conda update --all


Deactivate the environment

If you need to exit the active environment run:

conda deactivate

Your Miniconda setup is now ready for Python development, data analysis, or any custom workflows you want to build on your LumaDock VPS.
