PyPI Mirror

This PyPI mirror setup applies only to the RHEL 7 system and is not compatible with the migrated RHEL 9 environment.

On the Stronghold Linux workstation, if you want to install Python packages using the PyPI mirror, you must first create and activate a Python environment. Packages must be installed within an active Python virtual environment.

Please follow these steps:

1. Clear all currently loaded modules.

   module purge

2. Load the desired Python module (for example, Python 3.11.11).

   module load python/3.11.11

3. Create a new virtual environment (replace <env_name> with your preferred name).

   python -m venv <env_name>

4. Activate the virtual environment.

   source env_name/bin/activate

5. Install the desired package using pip (replace <package> with the actual package name).

   pip install <package>

6. If you want to deactivate the environment, run:

   deactivate
