Conda ecosystem

Conda is a language-agnostic, cross-platform package management ecosystem. conda-forge is a community-led infrastructure for building and distributing packages. These projects provide convenient ways to install and use packages across different platforms.

Pixi¶

Pixi is a modern package management tool for developers based on the Conda ecosystem. To install Pixi, follow one of these methods:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm -useb https://pixi.sh/install.ps1 | iex"

curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | sh

Once the installation is complete, open a new terminal and verify that the pixi command is available:

pixi --version

The conda and mamba programs¶

One can use Pixi to globally install the command-line applications conda and mamba:

pixi global install -e env-conda conda mamba
conda init --all
conda config --set auto_activate false

You should then be able to run:

conda --version
mamba --version
