Setting Up Python 3.7 and Anaconda Code Env

Hi All,

I am having some trouble setting Dataiku code environments with any Python other than 2.7 & 3.6.

Further more, I can't seem to get the "Use Conda" option either.
I know anaconda is considered a tier 2 support item, but it's required for my current project.

Does anyone know how to get these features working?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, 

Thanks. So PATH is not the same seen from the CLI so obviously, conda cannot be found. You can force DSS to use modified PATH by editing DATA_DIR/bin/env-site.sh file and restarting DSS: 

export PATH=/<PATH_TO_CONDA_BIN_DIR>/:$PATH

Hi @mahmoud_shihab 

Can you please post a screenshot with the error/warning you have while creating conda code env so we can understand the issue?

Hi @sergeyd,

Of course.

Sorry about that. I thought I uploaded the pictures.

Hi @mahmoud_shihab 

Thanks for the screenshots. It's not about Tier2 support. It's due to the fact that conda physically is not installed on the DSS server (or cannot be found from the PATH env variable). The same applies to the Python3.7 binary. 

You will need to install conda and make sure it's available in DSS system user's PATH. If you are planning to use Python3.7 natively installed (not via conda) you will need to install it as well. Your sysadmins should help you with this task.

Hi @sergeyd,

I currently have anaconda installed on the linux machine and available to DSS (as it is the only user and considered an sudoer).

But it still can't be found...

Do I need to install it in a specific way (for both anaconda and any python binary I need)?

Hi,

Thanks. If dss is a DSS system user, make sure that you have restarted DSS after applying changes to the user profile (including PATH changes).

Hi @sergeyd,

Everything I have showed you is after installing Anaconda and restarting both DSS and the Linux system.

I'm not sure why it's not working.

I feel like I am missing something.

It might be worth mentioning that Dataiku is installed on a drive mounted on /opt/dataiku

Do I need to install the python and anaconda binaries there?

Hi, 

You do not need to install conda into DSS mounted volume. What you are getting while running the next commands by DSS system user: 

which conda
conda info

?

Hi,

Ok, thanks. So from CLI all looks good. Now, let's check what DSS "sees". If you do not have UIF enabled, please open python notebook and run the next in the cell: 

!id
print("-------")
!echo $PATH
print("-------")
!which conda

Like This?

After This, do I restart DSS?

sergeyd

Yes, that's fine. Restart of DSS is required as I mentioned earlier.

Hi @sergeyd, how are you?

I am trying to follow the same steps you have suggested for Mahmoud but for the windows version.

I have found the conda path like follows:

conda path.png

 

And I have found the env-site.ps1 file (with the path: C:\Users\LENOVO\AppData\Local\Dataiku\DataScienceStudio\dss_home\bin\env-site.ps1), and inside the file I used the following:

setx PATH C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3;C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3\Library\mingw-w64\bin;C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3\Library\usr\bin;C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3\Library\bin;C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3\Scripts;C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3\bin;C:\Users\LENOVO\anaconda3\condabin;
 
But I still recieve this error:
 
env-error.png
 
Would you kindly help me with this?
