Installation on top of conda-forge

You will need a working Conda installation: either Miniforge, Miniconda or Anaconda. If you don’t have one yet, we recommend installing Miniforge as follows. In a terminal,

$ curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
$ bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh

After installing Conda, you will need to either start a new terminal session, or run

$ source ~/.bashrc

Instead of \(bashrc\) you might need to use \(zshrc\) (usual on macOS), or whatever shell name you are using. It should be clear from the messages at the end of the Conda installer run.

  • Miniforge uses conda-forge as the default channel. However, if you are using Miniconda or Anaconda, set it up to use conda-forge:

    • Add the conda-forge channel: conda config --add channels conda-forge

    • Change channel priority to strict: conda config --set channel_priority strict

If you installed Miniforge (or Mambaforge), we recommend to use mamba in the following, which uses a faster dependency solver than conda.

Then continue with the normal installation.
