DataMiner - Install Eartrack software for support DataMiner algorithms
100%
Description
We have an installation request for Eartrack:
https://support.d4science.org/issues/10653
Eartrack software use Conda package installer.
Conda is a package management tool for installing scientific and analytical computing packages, which may be written in Python or other programming languages. Conda also creates a virtual environment, like python-virtualenv does. Conda is the package manager of Anaconda. Anaconda is a free Python distribution provided by Continuum Analytics, which includes over 195 of the most popular Python packages for science, math, engineering and data analysis.
In DataMiner machines we use Pip a general purpose Python package installer. We can also evaluate the installation of python-virtualenv from the Ubuntu Software Center.
Pip and Conda use different packaging formats so they do not operate interchangeably, but we can evaluate the use of both tools side by side.

I see that there's a conda module for ansible, here: https://github.com/UDST/ansible-conda

Well, conda is a real mess for us.
It installs its own python environment that's totally incompatible with the already present python installation. I see that having different running environments on the same host can be useful, but we'll have to install the python packages in two different places or completely switch to a conda-controlled environment on the dataminers.

On a second look, it should be useful to us in the long run.

I don't see a difference between this ticket and #10653, I'm closing this one.
