Unable to Install and Configure Distributions on Lightning.ai

[kumar19a]

I am getting the following error:

llama distribution install --spec local --name local-llama-8b

Using local-llama-8b as the Conda environment for this distribution
Conda environment 'local-llama-8b' does not exist. Creating with Python 3.10...
Error: Conda create is not allowed. A Studio has a default conda environment (max 1 environment). Start a new Studio to create a new environment.

Is there a way to install distribution without a conda env?

Do you have an existing conda environment already available? If so, you can provide the name of this environment to the command with --conda-env <name> and then the install will re-use this environment.
