Trying to create a pydarm conda environment on
S. Dwyer, J. Kissel

Sheila and I hammered our way through trying to create a conda environment this morning on the CDS workstations. 
**We found out during the process, the Erik had already created an environment that included the packages needed for pydarm for Jenne a ~week ago. We have not exercised it yet.

It's not finished, but we did the following:
cd /ligo/gitcommon/ << where pydarm repo was cloned by someone else
mkdir Calibration << created the calibration group's namespace
cd Calibration
mv ../pydarm ./ << moved the pydarm project into that new folder
git clone git@git.ligo.org:Calibration/ifo.git    << cloned the repo that houses the pydarm model April 2021 parameter set

cd pydarm

# Sheila thinks we need this to so *something something* "I think I need to do this to get conda functional" *something*something*
setupanaconda
	<< a sheila alias for 
     alias setupanaconda="source /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/cds/h1/scripts/setup_anaconda"

# Following the instructions on pyDARM's INSTALL.md
conda env create --name pydarm --file conda/environment.yaml   << note instructions say conda/environment.yml, but this doesn't exist

Got a warning
WARNING 
current version 4.6.14
latest version 4.12.0

It's now ~50 minutes after we hit go and it's still creating the environment.
Sounds like we didn't need to, given Jenne and Erik's work.
We'll get more info from Jenne and Erik, and try again later.
Unsure if we need to blow away this environment when it's done.
