Hi,

Should the command that is on your website:
mamba create -n mfix-24.1 mfix==24.1 mfix-doc==24.1 mfix-gui==24.1 mfix-solver==24.1 mfix-src==24.1 -c conda-forge -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/TOKEN//conda/dist

be instead:

conda create -n mfix-24.1 mfix==24.1 mfix-doc==24.1 mfix-gui==24.1 mfix-solver==24.1 mfix-src==24.1 -c conda-forge -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/TOKEN//conda/dist ?

We now recommend to use miniforge instead of anaconda. If you installed miniforge, please use the mamba command. If you already have anaconda installed and donā€™t want to switch to miniforge, you can still use the conda command.

Even inside the Anaconda world, you can do conda install mamba and you will have access to the mamba command, which we have found gives faster and more fail-proof installs.

Mamba is a version of Conda rewritten in C++ which uses multiple threads and is significantly faster than the original ā€˜condaā€™, many users have made the switch due to frequent failures with conda, see e.g. Conda and Mamba | Department of Statistics

Putting it our here in case someone else runs into the issue:

I managed to installed with the mamba command once i used: ā€œsource /home/ebreard/miniforge3/bin/activateā€, but was struggling to activate as mamba activate mfix-24.1 forced me to use mamba init, which did not actually allow me to use mamba activate anyhow; maybe they were conflicts in my bashrc having anaconda3?
I had to do:
(base) [ebreard@login2 ebreard]$ source ā€œ/gpfs/home/ebreard/miniforge3/etc/profile.d/mamba.shā€
(base) [ebreard@login2 ebreard]$ mamba activate mfix-24.1
(mfix-24.1) [ebreard@login2 ebreard]$

Glad you figured it out, Eric.

I have

if [ -f "/home/cgw/miniforge3/etc/profile.d/mamba.sh" ]; then
    . "/home/cgw/miniforge3/etc/profile.d/mamba.sh"
fi

in my .bashrc but I didnā€™t put it in ther maually - itā€™s part of the <<<<conda initialize section. Iā€™ve installed so many different versions of Anaconda, Miniforte, mamba, etc, that I donā€™t remember what command put that in there - it was either saying yes to some question at install time, or running either conda init or mamba init.
