| Fortunately, there's a workaround thanks to the `conda-standalone` project. This is a single binary that bundles recent `conda` versions, with `conda-libmamba-solver` included. It's not a substitute for the full `conda` UX but it can help bootstrap and rescue conda installations. | ||

| 1. Download the most recent `conda-standalone` from its [Github Releases page](https://github.com/conda/conda-libmamba-solver/releases/latest). Make sure to pick the one for your operating system and platform. Once downloaded, rename it as `conda.exe`. |

If we make it conda the conda shell function will take precedence, I think. Also the internal filename in the conda-standalone bundle is conda.exe, so it's been around for a while... Let me see if we can express this succinctly.

I usually do this manually a few days after.
Edit: Done.
