Part 1 of the "You Can Do That with conda?" series—exploring unexpected capabilities of conda beyond Python packages.

Conda has long been the driver of data science workflows because of its unique ability to manage the complexities around Python packaging's diverse dependency requirements. It's precisely because of this that conda is also able to handle managing much more than just Python dependencies.

In this tutorial, we'll show the strengths of conda's flexibility and provide a guide on how you can install PostgreSQL for local development environments. Installing PostgreSQL this way offers several advantages: no root or admin permissions are required, the installation is isolated and reproducible, and your database can be version-controlled alongside other project dependencies—making it a lighter-weight alternative to container-based solutions like Docker.
