I asked about MPI processes in #C043FMKUNLB, and it does seem that using HYPHYMPI processes might make the modules (and consequently the pipeline) have some portability issues

idk what all is meant there, but not the end of the world. think someone here ran it w conda and a custom config file but i dont know details

I'll stick with MP for now, we can revisit MPI version at a later point if it becomes necessary ig?
