 Link Conda Directory to Data Disk (RAL Linux Machines)
-______________________________________________________
+======================================================
 
 By default, Conda environments are stored in a directory called ".conda" that is found in the user's home directory, i.e. /home/user/.conda (Note that the dot at the beginning of the directory name is a hidden directory that does not always show up in a directory listing). Conda environments can take up a lot of disk space which can quickly fill up the /home disk. It is recommended that you create a directory on a data disk that has more disk space and create a symbolic link from the .conda directory so the environments will be stored on the data disk. Keep in mind that deleting the directory on the data disk will delete all of your conda environments and they cannot be easily recovered.

 How to Create a New Wrapper
-===========================
+***************************
 
 Naming
-------
+======
 
 File Name
-^^^^^^^^^
+---------
 
 Create the new wrapper in the *metplus/wrappers* directory and
 name it to reflect the wrapper's function, e.g.: new_tool_wrapper.py is
 a wrapper around an application named "new_tool."
 Copy the **example_wrapper.py** to start the process.
 
 Class Name
-^^^^^^^^^^
+----------
 
 The name of the class should match the wrapper's function without underscores
 and with the first letter of each word capitalized followed by "Wrapper."
 For example, the new_tool wrapper would be named **NewToolWrapper**.
 
 Add Entry to LOWER_TO_WRAPPER_NAME Dictionary
