The CDS conda environment has been updated.

New versions of ndscope and diaggui can connect to an arrakis data source. 

Also included is the arrakis-python client library.  "include arrakis" to use in your python scripts.

Many packages have been moved up to the versions used in the IGWN environment.

You can run a command outside the environment with "noconda "

You can exit conda within a terminal window with "killconda".

You can activate other conda environments with "conda activate " or "conda activate ".  Some additional configuration of your account may be needed to get "conda activate" to work.
