Just for the record, I am working on a cloud GPU instance and want to install rdkit for molecular compuatations.

But this isn’t so easy as one can see here: [Installation — The RDKit 2023.09.2 documentation](https://www.rdkit.org/docs/Install.html)

I can’t install it via

> pip install rdkit

and there’s no conda available (which I could install afaik know), but even the Ubuntu packages are not available on my instance server:

> $ sudo apt-get install python-rdkit librdkit1 rdkit-data

Any ideas?
