After recent license changes at #Anaconda, Inc., #Miniforge has become the recommended, fully open solution for institutional #Python environments. Now bundling both #conda and #mamba, it replaces #Miniconda/ #Mambaforge, ensuring high performance and broad package access via #CondaForge. Here I summarized the key changes and migration steps:

I have updated my blog post about how to use #QGIS from #condaforge to include #mambaforge as an alternative to miniconda. Mamba forge uses conda forge channel by default, the commands are quite similar to conda, but it's much faster!!!

Using QGIS from conda-forge

QGIS recipes have been available on Conda-forge for a while, but now, that they work for the three main operating systems, installing QGIS from Conda is s starting to become a very reliable alternative to other QGIS distributions. Anyway, let’s rewind a bit… What is Conda? Conda is an open source package management system and environment management system that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Conda quickly installs, runs and updates packages and all their dependencies.

Wooot? two @qgis in my #fedora ? How is that possible? they must be replicating themselves.       #mambaforge #mamba #qgis

If, like me, you use #conda exclusively with @condaforge channel, I suggest you to try #mambaforge. It's faster and more informative than plain conda and uses conda-forge channel as default.

Gave up on Anaconda....🥵

#30DayMapChallenge day 23 - movement (update).

After having gone through all of my maps and code again to reformat my github repo, I discovered I actually could use #cartopy after all. For some reason it wont install in my #conda environment but I did get it to work on day 9 using #mambaforge.

When I switched my day 23 kernel to mambaforge it worked perfectly so I'm now able to share the finalised verson of that day's #map.
