+IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are using conda `4.3.30` or older, please upgrade to the latest version before attempting to install or update any packages due to a bug in older versions that makes a large number of packages invisible and unable to be installed. Upgrading conda may require two steps. The following commands will allow you to verify that the upgrade was successful.::

+ # source activate root
+ # conda --version
+ conda 4.3.30
+ # conda update conda
+ # conda --version
+ conda 4.3.31
+ # conda update conda
+ # conda --version
+ conda 4.5.4 (Or whatever the latest version happens to be.)
