Why "building ORCA" is downloading Miniconda in the background, when I have already installed one for python?

[AJV009]

Am using a Windows 10 64 bit machine with Miniconda already installed for my Python experiments. (I have some bandwidth limitations) Why is Miniconda being downloaded during building ORCA? Cant we make use of the existing Miniconda installation? Can we somehow add an existing conda environment to Julia?

Sorry for opening the issue! I just found how in the Conda.js docs!

julia> ENV["CONDA_JL_HOME"] = "/path/to/miniconda/envs/datacamp" # a miniconda env previously created for Python project julia>Pkg.build("Conda") julia>Pkg.build("ORCA") # got stuck in some kind of loop! Build logs -> build.log
