There will be a post class tutorial of how to add channels permanently if you feel this is something you would benefit from after the class.

Information about how to do this, as well as more detailed information of why it is bad practice to go around adding large numbers of channels can be found here. Similarly, when we get to the read mapping tutorial, we will go over the conda-forge channel which is also very helpful to have.
