A few notes about the instructions ... #110

Description

@DrYool

I've finally deleted my old configuration and am in the process of replacing it with a clean build. So I'm using the instructions page to do this. In doing so, I've spotted a few (very) minor issues in the instructions for doing this ...

  • If I have mamba already, do I need miniconda3?; maybe a first instruction might be to check what's already set-up in the user's environment, i.e. are there checks I can do from my environment to check what I need to add?
  • Comment: if you want to destroy an existing installation of bgcval2, you need to use rm -rf to dig out the hidden files (I spotted this requirement mentioned later in the instructions for rebuilding)
  • For absolute clarity, explain where you should be located in file space when you execute “git fetch”, “git merge origin/main”, etc.
  • This line “rm -rf $USER/miniconda3/envs/bgcval2” is ambiguous since $USER doesn’t make sense; I think ~/ would make more sense

I don't if these are worth addressing. Maybe wait till I've finished my install and see if there's any more - it's taking an absolute age. But saving and submitting these for now, as I'm working from home tomorrow.
