Description
See https://mattermost.web.cern.ch/rucio/pl/84g7j46empnrdge5oz8n3njcfe
Essentially Rucio assumes that gfal2 (libraries) and python-gfal2 (bindings) are installed in the environment.
Mention this in this installation. Also maybe mention an installation with conda (Which is able to install the libs right away)
