The recommended way to install [[mamba]] is to install [[miniforge3]].
However, you can also retrofit an existing [[conda]] installation (not recommended).
```bash
## prioritize 'conda-forge' channel
conda config --add channels conda-forge
## update existing packages to use 'conda-forge' channel
conda update -n base --all
## install 'mamba'
conda install -n base mamba
```
Note that installing [[mamba]] into any environment other than the `base` environment is not supported.
