I am using a CentOs Distribution of Linux and have miniconda already installed along with conda environments that I created with it. I am trying to install anaconda now. Do I have to uninstall miniconda first? I have some environments that I created with miniconda that I would like to keep. Is it possible to keep those environments if I uninstall it? The reason I need anaconda is I'd like to create environments inside my singularity container. How would it be possible to keep both? Thanks.

Both Miniconda and Anaconda include Conda, so no need to install both. Given either, a new environment with all the Anaconda distribution packages can be created using

conda create --name my_anaconda_env anaconda

Note that Python versions can be specified as part of this, e.g.,

conda create --name my_anaconda37_env anaconda python=3.7
