This section explains how to install the Anaconda MFiX packages on Linux, Mac,
or Windows. There are four steps overall to the MFiX install process:

  #. Create an account at https://mfix.netl.doe.gov
  #. Download and install Anaconda
  #. Create a new Conda environment
  #. Install MFiX in the Conda environment

Step 4 requires registration and a login account. MFiX is an open-source
multiphase flow solver and is free to download and use. A one-time no-cost
registration is required prior to downloading the software. To register, go to
https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/register and submit your account information. Your
application will be manually reviewed and accepted, so please allow for 2-3
business days for your registration to be processed. You will receive a
confirmation email when you can login.

.. note:: The MFiX solver can still be used from a source tarball (as in
          previous releases). See :ref:`developers` for more information.

For further details, see the install section for your platform.
