How can I install miniconda to be accessible to all users?

Question

I am trying to install miniconda as root to be accessible to all user in a virtual machine.

My goal is to share a virtual environment between multiple users.

Answer 1

I have used this solution so far, for installing miniconda to /opt.

As root:

cd /opt
mkdir -p miniconda3
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O /opt/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
bash /opt/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p /opt/miniconda3
rm -rf /opt/miniconda3/miniconda.sh

Then I logged in as the non-root user:

./opt/miniconda3/bin/conda init

Restart the shell.
