Anaconda install on windows Server 2016 standard


I'm looking to install miniconda or anaconda in a Windows server machine , version 2016 standard. The objective is to automate python scripts using the task scheduler in the VM and if possible also being able to remote into a jupyter notebook initiated on server.

I'm unable to test it prior to install (NOQA) and was not able to find this on the documentation. I'm looking for best practices.

Should a specific version of anaconda be used for this effect or an install of jupyter hub on WSfL be more appropriate?

So far this is the best i could find on SO but example is shown on a Linux machine. Installing Anaconda on Server


Solution

  • Installing Conda on your Windows server should be straight forward.
    Here a link for the installation.
    Start the scripts using a .bat file like this sample

    CALL conda activate my-env && python my-script.py
    

    If you want, you can install Jupyter within your environment.
    Instead of using WSL, you should prefer using Linux directly.
