There have been some recent changes to the conda/mamba ecosystem, see obligatory xkcd. This is my current way of creating a fresh install of conda. Setting libmamba as the conda solver should allow you mamba-like speed, while at the same time letting you just install programs like `conda install`.

1. Install miniconda
   1. wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
   2. bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
2. Set libmamba as the default solver – https://www.anaconda.com/blog/a-faster-conda-for-a-growing-community
   1. conda update -n base conda
   2. conda install -n base conda-libmamba-solver
   3. conda config --set solver libmamba
3. Set channel priorities – https://bioconda.github.io/
   1. conda config –add channels defaults
   2. conda config –add channels bioconda
   3. conda config –add channels conda-forge
   4. conda config –set channel_priority strict
