Hello,

I note Mambaforge has now been deprecated, as of July 2024, in favor of Miniforge (GitHub - conda-forge/miniforge: A conda-forge distribution.). I’m sure you are on top of this, but wanted to flag it.

It seems this is just a name change and a direct replacement of mambaforge with miniforge is required:

curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh

Thanks for the reminder. We’ll follow the recommended renaming in our installation scripts and documentation.
