# Function to check if Conda is installed, and install it if not
install_conda() {
    if command -v conda &> /dev/null; then
        echo "Conda is already installed."
    else
        echo "Conda is not installed. Installing Miniconda..."
        
        # Download Miniconda installer script
        MINICONDA_URL="https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh"
        INSTALLER="Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh"
        
        # Download the Miniconda installer
        curl -LO $MINICONDA_URL

        # Run the installer
        bash $INSTALLER -b -p $HOME/miniconda
        
        # Initialize Conda in the current shell
        source "$HOME/miniconda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
        conda init
        
        # Clean up the installer
