Helpful Tips

your `.bashrc`

These are some helpful additions to your ~/.bashrc file.

alias rm='rm -i'
alias sidle='sinfo | grep idle'

`pip install`

When using python I suggest making sure you order your steps thusly,

Load the desired version of python with ml python/<V.v>.
Create a virtual environment (in your home directory seems safest).
Activate your environment.
Make sure you are using the correct pip with which pip.
Use pip install with the --no-cache-dir option to install your packages.
