That document seems to be written by a person who only had a cursory look at conda without realizing that there are options that you could use to avoid these issues. As Dima said, if they want you to install from source, they should provide a compiler and other tools that you can use to compile sa

Hi, You can install conda on your local machine, make a new sage environment using conda and then pack up that environment using `conda-pack` and then distribute the sage environment to the cluster. This way, you will only have sage distributed and no conda-pack. This is similar to what you would
