Thanks Dave. I’ve emailed archer support so will see what they say.

My previous attempts to use different conda environments for different UM modules on archer were a complete nightmare to be honest - if you have a clever way of doing that I’m very happy to look into using my existing conda venvs though!

e.g. if I add a conda activate / deactivate into the bin/main.sh routine in an app (e.g. u-da699/app/get\_era\_data) it comes back with an init error as here: [Install of convsh on archer2? - #18 by shakka](https://cms-helpdesk.ncas.ac.uk/t/install-of-convsh-on-archer2/1155/18)
