How to use Conda of different version for biostar book and other applications

[siva-molecularbiologist]

I am new to linux. For RNA seq analysis i am using a software called cogentAP using Conda Version 24. When i installed biostar handbook in on the same workstation, Conda version becomes 2.3 so i couldnot run cogentAP. So how to manage two different versions of conda in the same workstation
Thanks for the help

Our software installs micromamba a variant of conda and that is version 2.3

We do also alias micromamba to conda, so when you run conda it actually runs micromamba.

Edit the file called .biostar.sh in your home directory and remove the lines

# Alias conda and mamba to micromamba
alias mamba=micromamba
alias conda=micromamba

that way you will retain both conda and micromamba
