environment.yml includes defaults channel (Anaconda licensing) #32

Description

@Bryan-Nsoh

Summary

environment.yml lists the defaults channel (repo.anaconda.com), which requires a commercial license which i beleive ORNL doest pay? I remember there being a commotion about this last summer

Suggested Fix

Remove - defaults from the channels list in environment.yml. All listed dependencies are available via conda-forge and bioconda, which are community-maintained and have no licensing restrictions.

channels:
  - conda-forge
  - bioconda
  # remove: - defaults

Context

Many institutions have banned use of Anaconda's commercial channels. Miniforge + conda-forge/bioconda is the standard workaround and resolves all the deps in this environment file without any licensing concern.
