but it is not necessary if the `Plumed` object gets correctly collected by Python.

If you use the conda package manager you can install a precompiled PLUMED binary using the following command:
\verbatim
> conda install -c plumed/label/testing plumed
> conda install -c conda-forge plumed
\endverbatim
Similarly, the python wrappers can be installed with
\verbatim
> conda install -c conda-forge py-plumed
\endverbatim
\warning Currently this is a test version. Starting with PLUMED 2.5.2 it will be possible to download
the latest official release.
These packages are part of [conda-forge](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge) and as such should be binary compatible
with other codes from the same distribution. Notice that it should also be possible to combine the installed
plumed kernel with an MD code compiled outside of conda (or within a different conda environment)
if plumed is linked in runtime mode.
The only variable that you need to set in order to access to the installed plumed kernel is
`PLUMED_KERNEL` (e.g., `export PLUMED_KERNEL=/conda/prefix/lib/libplumedKernel.so`).
Notice that binaries are only available for Linux and MacOS and that they have a limited number of features.
In particular, they do not support MPI, nor the other optional libraries used by PLUMED, and do not
include optional modules. However, they can be used to quickly install a working PLUMED version
without the need to have a compiler.

Notice that there are additional conda packages on the [plumed](https://anaconda.org/plumed/plumed) channel.
Those packages are for testing only.
