A step by step guide for Linux and MacOS users

Step 1. Assuming you have not installed Mambaforge, install Mambaforge first. This is the code from the Mambaforge webpage:

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

Where, you can replace $(uname) with the list of package names shown in the following table:

So, for example, if you wanted to install Mambaforge (which will basically install Mamba, which is a Conda like environment) on Intel MacOSX, you could do something like:

$ curl -L -O https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Mambaforge-MacOSX-x86_64 -m.sh$ bash Mambaforge-MacOSX-x86_64 -m.sh

This will start installation of Mamba. After you read the agreement script, agree (“Yes”, the default is “No” by the way), and then allow conda --init (again, the default is “No”, you will need to state “yes”), close your shell, and re-open it. Your Mamba is ready to install Jupyter lab. For more information on how to use Mamba, see their websites:
