Is it okay to run two instances of anaconda installing two things at once? [closed]

Question

I just set up linux with WSL and am using anaconda to install standard packages.

It takes incredibly long (the solving environment variables part) and I want to install many things.

Can I run anaconda install on two different shells and be fine (using tmux not that it matters probably)?

Answer 1

I've never played with WSL but in general the package installation systems have a locking system that prevent parallel executions because they'll make the system inconsistent in some situations. So I think it should be fine but useless because the second process will be queued.
