Install and Switch Python Versions

aifare platform images all come with Miniconda pre-installed, supporting flexible creation and switching of different Python virtual environments.

Check Current Python Version​

python --version

Create a Python Virtual Environment with a Specific Version​

For example, to create a Python 3.7 environment:

conda create -n my-env python=3.7
  • my-env is the name of the virtual environment and can be customized
  • python=3.7 can be replaced with the required version (e.g., 3.8, 3.10, 3.12, etc.)

Activate the Virtual Environment​

conda init bash && source /root/.bashrc
conda activate my-env

Verify Python Version​

python --version

Common Issues​

  • If you need to install Python 3.6 (e.g., TensorFlow 1.14 requires 3.6/3.7), use the above command to create it.
  • Each virtual environment is independent; install/run dependencies after switching environments.
  • It is recommended to use conda to manage Python versions to avoid system environment confusion.
