TODO

Conda

conda could be considered a package manager as well.

Environment variables:

`CONDA_EXE`	`/home/rene/miniconda3/bin/conda`
`CONDA_PREFIX`	`/home/rene/miniconda3`
`CONDA_PROMPT_MODIFIER`	`(base)`
`_CE_CONDA`
`CONDA_SHLVL`	`1`
`CONDA_PYTHON_EXE`	`/home/rene/miniconda3/bin/python`
`CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV`	`base`

Why does conda modify ~/.bashrc? Is this necessary and/or can it be turned off?
