Description

save_image relies on the miniconda installation (per the documentation, save_image(...) 'Installation' section).

This currently fails on Linux aarch64 devices due to an unresolved issue with conda support on that hardware (https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/12886)

As a result, save_image() is non-functional in the sense the 'Installation' instructions cannot be successfully completed.

Research direction

Start with the save_image() Installation section in the documentation and reproduce the setup on a Linux aarch64 device. Review the linked conda issue to determine whether an alternative installation path exists; done means the instructions accurately support save_image() on that platform or clearly document the limitation.
