Do you wish the installer to initialize Miniconda2
by running conda init? [yes|no]
[no] >>> no 

...
  1. Run miniconda
miniconda2/bin/conda
  1. Load conda environment
. /home/csys/jpina/miniconda2/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
  1. Load conda environment in your submission script
$ cat test_submit.sh 

#!/bin/bash
# Load user environment during job excution 
#$ -V   

# Start jobs at the submisssion path 
#$ -cwd 

# Call parallell environment "mp", and excute in 4 cores 
#$ -pe mp 4

# Queue selection 
#$ -q hpc

# Load miniconda 
.  /home/csys/jpina/miniconda2/etc/profile.d/conda.sh

NOTE Loading the conda environment can lead to conflits with the 'modules load' command, therefore users should test the environment on a running job when using both conda and modules environments. If possible, use only conda environment.
