Recommend mambaforge?

Open maxnoe opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Readme recommends a full anaconda install and then install mamba and creating an environment.

This has several problems in my experience:

  • a lot of wasted space for the full anaconda env
  • A large base env will inadvertently make upgrading conda/mamba hard due to "solving environment" issues
  • Installing mamba itself might fail due to conda being slow solving the large environment with all the packages in conda-forge

Solution: Let people install mambaforge (Miniconda with preinstalled mamba from: https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#mambaforge)
