[Tutorial] How to fix the conflict between ROS Python and Conda

Problem:

Ever since I have installed Conda, ROS does not seem to work. And predictably it is because Conda has changed my Python environment.

I run ROS Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04.

Can someone guide on how can I use both on my machine? I am willing to make changes to my system every time I want to switch from one to another.

Fix:

the simplest of which is to remove conda from the path, and use conda later on with the full path names (such as ~/miniconda3/bin/conda)
