How are we supposed to use conda to install packages for non super server accounts?

0

I am required to work in an environment where I have access to a server with GPU's but my accounts do not have superuser access, and it is a real pain to ask the administrator to install packages, so I usually follow the process of building packages for a user from source. But it tends to become cumbersome, so I had discovered that you can install many of the libraries and packages very easily using conda for eq ffmpeg.

But I had a doubt regarding installing of packages using Conda; the conda installing pages always lists the installing commands as around 2-3 commands for, eg I have to use the following command to install htop.

conda install -c conda-forge htop 
conda install -c conda-forge/label/gcc7 htop 
conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf201901 htop 

But htop install's just fine if I run the command

conda install htop

I am doing something wrong, like will my installing have some error or cause some error's that I might not be aware of.
