   > On their website they do indicate if you avoid certain distribution 
channels you can use miniconda without a paid license.
   
   Yeah, I found this at https://www.anaconda.com/pricing/terms-of-service-faqs:
   
   > Because Miniconda is a minimal Anaconda distribution installer that points 
to the Anaconda repositories by default, the need to pay depends on the package 
channels you use. If you use the default channel (named “defaults” and points 
to the Anaconda Repository) and your company has 200 or more employees, you 
need to purchase a license. However, if you use community-maintained package 
channels on [anaconda.org](http://anaconda.org/) (like conda-forge and 
bioconda) as your preferred channel, you don’t need a license
   
   ..which is what we're doing in this PR (disabling the `default` channel and 
using the `pytorch` channel)
   
   > This conda prereq is "just" to get a snapshot (tip of feature branch) 
build of FAISS, right?
   
   Unfortunately not.. The [supported way to install 
Faiss](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/main/INSTALL.md) is 
through Conda, even for major versions :(
   We could build it from source as well, but would need to get required 
dependencies from somewhere except Conda
