I was just carefully reading the page about Mambaforge linked to from Sage, i.e., this page
https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge and it says that Mambaforge is deprecated and no longer recommended, and instead people should install Miniforge, i.e., "(Discouraged as of September 2023)". We should update the instructions at https://deploy-livedoc--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/installation/conda#install-from-conda-forge since they recommend the now discouraged Mambaforge. The page https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge suggests that Mambaforge is somehow "just as good", but when I tried doing clean installs, then installing Sage, I had the best experience (i.e., completely perfect!) with Miniforge, which is what they recommend. Basically, we should instead recommend: curl -L -O https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh sh Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh -b -u -p /conda -- William On Sun, Mar 10, 2024 at 4:05 PM William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > So I was using MicroMamba, whereas that page says Sage only > supports Mambaforge, Miniforge, Miniconda or Anaconda.
