basilisk.utils

basilisk.utils provides a centralized conda installation for use by other Bioconductor packages.

Key Features:

• Automated Conda Provisioning: Downloads and installs conda from the Miniforge project if conda is not already available on the system.
• System Detection: Performs no action if conda is already present on the system, avoiding redundant installations.

Scientific Applications:

• Bioconductor Package Support: Enables other Bioconductor packages to access a consistent, centralized conda environment for dependency management.

Methodology:

The tool checks for existing conda installation and conditionally downloads and installs from the Miniforge project.
