Installing mamba on a machine with conda


I dont know if I have missed it, but this is not clear to me. I already have miniconda on my machine and I want now to install mamba. How this should be done please, I am supposed to download/run the correct mambaforge installer? Does this co-exist happily side by side with conda or you are supposed to have just one of them on your system. Doing something like conda install mamba is not recommended


Solution

  • Mamba is a replacement conda package manager. They do not co-exist happily as they both rely on a base environment for their dependencies. The recommended way is to install mambaforge or micromamba separately as a replacement.
