Hi @Wiss thanks for your contribution.
Installing NEST with the conda package or docker should not require you to set the environment variables. This should only be necessary if you are installing NEST from source, and in that case, the documentation does include the instructions: https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/condaenv_install.html
But perhaps there is some confusion here in the documentation differentiating between the conda package of NEST and installing NEST from source in a conda environment?
Please let us know if you have any further comments or questions.

I understand now. I've been discussing the local installation of NEST on Linux, excluding Docker or Conda setups. It seems I referred to the installation instructions for the stable version of NEST on Linux (the original link I included), rather than those for the latest version (the link you sent). The link you provided offers clear instructions. Unfortunately, the one that I used (for the stable version) its not that clear in my opinion; at least the instruction for setting the environment variables is missing. I realized that when you enter the download link in NEST webpage, and then click user documentation
you arrive to the stable
version of the documentation. Maybe that's why other people are facing a similar confusion. In fact, I talked with some colleagues about their NEST installation process and they said that they spent more time than expected trying to locate those instructions.

@Wiss the stable version is tied with the most recent version of NEST whereas latest is tied with master, and is subject to change at any time- so I'm sorry if I confused you there. But I'm glad to hear the most recent changes are clearer. When we release the next version of NEST the stable documentation will be closer to what you see in latest.
And thanks for sharing your and your colleagues experiences; we are always trying to make the documentation easier to access and understand, and the feedback is very valuable.
