### 3. Create Conda environment `mxcubeweb`
Create Conda environment `mxcubeweb` using the conda environment file in mxcubeweb. The installation of the dependencies in the environment takes a few minutes.

The name of the environment is located at the top of file `conda-environment.yml`. It can be changed from the command line with `--name <env-name>`.

```
cd mxcubeweb
conda env create -f conda-environment.yml
# or (to pass a different name)
conda env create -f conda-environment.yml --name another_name
```

### 4. Activate the environment

```
conda activate mxcubeweb
```

Do we oblige to use conda or we strongly recommend it, but leave it optional?

Id say that we recommend it but one is of course free to choose another way of installing things

In this case, maybe we say something like - We use conda for a convenience and to be independent from other projects libraries and python version. This, though, is not compulsory and one can use any other tool or configuration for installing the application and the necessary third party libraries.
