Run following command(s)

bash Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh
eval "$(/home/murat/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"
conda init
conda config --set auto_activate_base false

OsX

Download OsX installation file.
Run following command(s)

bash Miniforge3-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

UHTE Virtual Environment Creation
