'''Attention:''' While Conda works well in a desktop environment, it tends to create more problems than it solves on a cluster. For example, Conda very often installs software (compilers, scientific libraries etc.) which is already available on the Compute Canada clusters in the form of modules but with a far from ideal configuration.
