-- `conda` provides a "one stop shop" for installing lots of different software
-    - Rather than having to figure out how to install every new software on its own, `conda` can handle it all for you.

+- conda allows you set up different software environments for different projects
     - For example, you may have two projects that require different versions of the same package.
-    With `conda`, you can create separate, fully isolated software environments for each project with different package versions.
-    - Python-based `OpenScPCA` analysis modules will use different `conda` environments to prevent conflicts and improve reproducibility.
