```markdown # Installing Miniconda Follow these steps to install Miniconda on your system: ## Step 1: Download Miniconda First, download the appropriate Miniconda installer for your system from the [official Miniconda website](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html). ## Step 2: Run the Installer - **Windows**: Double click the `.exe` file and follow the instructions. - **macOS and Linux**: Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer, and run the following command: ``` ```bash bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh ``` Replace `Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh` with the name of the file you downloaded. ## Step 3: Follow the Prompts The installer will prompt you to review the license agreement, choose the install location, and optionally allow the installer to initialize Miniconda3 by appending it to your `PATH`. ## Step 4: Verify the Installation To verify that the installation was successful, open a new terminal window and type: ```bash conda list ``` If Miniconda has been installed and added to your `PATH`, this should display a list of installed packages. ## Step 5: Update Conda to the Latest Version It's a good practice to make sure you're running the latest version of Conda. You can update it by running: ```bash conda update conda ``` That's it! You have successfully installed Miniconda on your system. Now when you open up a terminal you should see a prompt and (base) to indicate no conda enviroment is active. ![Your console](imgs/console.jpg)
