Trying ./data-science-stack build-conda-env on a fresh ubuntu 20.04 gcp vm causes an error updating the repo:

Fixed by preinstalling CUDA following these instructions:

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=Ubuntu&target_version=20.04&target_type=deb_local

Dummy question: Do we really need to install CUDA on the OS too as we already install it on conda?
