Setup Miniforge3

In order to develop on FIAT locally, the Python package manager Miniforge3 is recommended.

Download and install Miniforge3

Make sure the conda binary (and mamba) is added to PATH. In windows this is simply done via the ‘set environment variables’ screen, on linux one can append the ‘PATH’ variable via the .bashrc configurations file (or another rc file corresponding with the shell in use). Initialize conda by running the following command in your shell.

conda init

Depending on your computer settings, you might also have to run the following in a Powershell terminal as administrator:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
