Instructions: http://qiime.org/install/install.html
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
chmod u+x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
When installing Miniconda it will prompt you for a pathname if not it
will default to $HOME/miniconda3 if you started from your home directory.
Python is lots of small files so it is best to use /DFS-B/DATA on the new system,
in my case /DFS-B/DATA/staff/santucci/miniconda3 or /DFS-B/DATA/<group/pi-name>/<username>.
Results in updating:
/export/home/santucci/.bashrc
Original .bashrc can be found:
/export/home/santucci/.bashrc-miniconda3.bak
