Solving environment: done


## Package Plan ##

The following packages will be downloaded:


*It then lists the packages to be installed. I proceeded with installation

# To activate this environment, use

[mmundakk at LADRL2023060931 ~]$ env  | grep NCARG

[mmundakk at LADRL2023060931 ~]$ conda list -n ncl
