I should run a program in a conda environment in a remote linux server connected via ssh, which takes really long. Can I use nohup so I can logout? Will there occur any problem due to conda environment or how can I proceed?

I suggest using screen or tmux instead. These "terminal multiplexers" will allow you to create a separate session from which you can "detach" and leave it running in the background. You can even log out, and then log back in to reattach to that session. I use it for any long-running task (e.g., running rsync) I want to run in the background.

Here’s a quick intro to screen that explains the idea: https://medium.com/swlh/how-to-use-screen-on-linux-to-detach-and-reattach-your-terminal-2f52755ff45e
