#. Install the `conda` package manager, if you do not already have it (or Anaconda).
Select one of the following options:

a. Users of Fedora Linux and Red Hat derivatives (RHEL, CentOS Stream) may install from the official repositories and EPEL, respectively, with the command ::

sudo dnf install conda

b. All other users, download and install `Miniconda <https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html>`_.

The download will be a .sh file with a name like ``Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh``.
Open a terminal in the same directory as this file, and type the following to install Conda
(replace the name of your .sh file below). ::

bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

**When prompted to append Anaconda to your PATH, select or type Yes**.
Install the Conda folder inside your home directory
(typically ``/home/YourUsername/`` in Linux and ``/Users/YourUsername`` in Mac).

Note that you should reinitialize or restart your terminal in order for the changes to take effect, as the installer will tell you.

#. Install both RMG and the RMG-database binaries through the terminal. Dependencies will be installed automatically. It is safest to make a new conda environment for RMG and its dependencies. Type the following command into the terminal to create the new environment named 'rmg_env' containing the latest stable version of the RMG program and its database. ::
