Installation by Source Using Anaconda Environment for Unix-based Systems: Linux and Mac OSX
*******************************************************************************************

#. 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 the `conda` package manager via `miniforge`, if you do not already have it (or Anaconda), by following the `Miniforge installation instructions <https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge?tab=readme-ov-file#install>`_.

#. There are a few system-level dependencies which are required and should not be installed via Conda. These include
`Git <https://git-scm.com/>`_ for version control, `GNU Make <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>`_, and the C and C++ compilers from the `GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) <https://gcc.gnu.org/>`_ for compiling RMG.
