What about installing miniconda in your home folder?

How ancient is that system?

This is not how you deploy software

You are right, but I interpreted it as a one off manual task. I've used miniconda in that way.

Possibly CentOS, which requires python 2.7 even now.

RedHat EL5.

No matter, that system is going to be decommissioned and functions will go over to a new EL7 install.

It just stalls that project till the new server is ready.
