`Conda `_ is an open source package management
-system and environment management system for installing multiple versions of
-software packages and their dependencies and switching easily between them. If

-`conda-forge` channel. First, add the `conda-forge` channel with:

+`Mamba `_ is a cross-platform package
+manager and is compatible with `conda` packages.
+OpenMC can be installed in a `conda` environment with `mamba`.
+First, `conda` should be installed with one of the following installers:
+`Miniconda `_,
+`Anaconda `_, or `Miniforge `_.
+Once you have `conda` installed on your system, OpenMC can be installed via the
+`conda-forge` channel with `mamba`.
+
+First, add the `conda-forge` channel with:
.. code-block:: sh
conda config --add channels conda-forge
+Then create and activate a new conda enviroment called `openmc-env` in
+which to install OpenMC.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ conda create -n openmc-env
+ conda activate openmc-env
+
+Then install `mamba`, which will be used to install OpenMC.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ conda install mamba
+
To list the versions of OpenMC that are available on the `conda-forge` channel,
in your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt run:
.. code-block:: sh
- conda search openmc
+ mamba search openmc
OpenMC can then be installed with:
.. code-block:: sh
- conda create -n openmc-env openmc
+ mamba install openmc
-This will install OpenMC in a conda environment called `openmc-env`. To activate
-the environment, run:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- conda activate openmc-env
+You are now in a conda environment called `openmc-env` that has OpenMC installed.
