Anaconda Repos blocked in Garching

Different institutes at MPG have decided to switch the default anaconda repositories. This is due to their (Anaconda Inc.) recent changes in licensing. What this comes down to for us, is that you are strongly invited to switch to the conda-forge repositories, then carry on as usual.

New compute instances will slowly be updated so this config is automatic.

In the meantime, this 2 commands take care of it:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --remove channels defaults
