-On SSEC servers you use this command to load a pre-installed version of Anaconda:

-    module load anaconda27

 Once you have Anaconda installed, run the following commands on the command line:
 
-    conda create -n glance python=2.7 anaconda
-    source activate glance
-    conda remove navigator-updater 
-    conda install basemap netcdf4 h5py pyqt=4.11.4 mock scipy pillow

 This will create an Anaconda environment called "glance" that can be used to run Glance at the command line. When you open a new terminal session with your computer to use glance you will need to activate this environment using the command:
 
-    source activate glance
+    conda activate glance
 
 If you need a developer installation of Glance, you will follow most of the same instructions as above, but you will also need to be able to use git on the command line.
