After installing ncl via conda using the recommneded procedure, the installation completes without error messages but the executable ncl is absent

(ncl_stable):~ user$ echo $NCARG_ROOT
/Users/user/miniconda3/envs/ncl_stable
(ncl_stable):~ user$ ncl -V
-bash: ncl: command not found

(ncl_stable):~ user$ ls /Users/user/miniconda3/envs/ncl_stable/bin/nc
nc-config ncargf90 ncargversion nccopy ncgm2cgm ncl_grib2nc
ncargcc ncargfile ncargworld ncdump ncgmstat ncl_quicklook
ncargex ncargpath ncarlogo2ps ncgen ncl_convert2nc ncurses6-config
ncargf77 ncargrun ncarvversion ncgen3 ncl_filedump ncursesw6-config

Provide the following:

  • a concise NCL script demonstrating the issue (remove unnecessary code)

invoking ncl fails

Computing environment

  • OS: Sonoma on Mac M3
  • OS version: [e.g. Ubuntu 16.04, MacOS 10.13.6, Windows 10]
  • NCL Version: 6.6.2
  • Installation method: conda

Unfortunately, there's not a working osx-arm64 build at this point.
