base * /home/user/build/anaconda3/envs/picrust2
biobakery3 /home/user/build/anaconda3/envs/picrust2/envs/biobakery3
picrust2 /home/user/build/anaconda3/envs/picrust2/envs/picrust2
/home/user/build/anaconda3/envs/py2
/home/user/build/anaconda3/envs/py38

I tried to clone existing environments by:
$ conda create clone /home/user/build/anaconda3/envs/struo2 -n struo2
However this
