Here is how to install conda onto macOS in detailed steps:
1. Download the installer for conda from the official website. You can choose between **Miniconda installer for macOS**¹ or **Anaconda installer for macOS**¹, depending on your preference. Miniconda is a minimal version of Anaconda that only includes conda and its dependencies, while Anaconda includes a large collection of scientific packages and tools.
2. Run the installer and follow the instructions on the screen. You can use either the graphical installer or the command-line installer. For the graphical installer, double-click the .pkg file and click Continue or Agree as needed¹. For the command-line installer, open a terminal and run `bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-2020.05-MacOSX-x86_64.sh` (for Python 3) or `bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda2-2019.10-MacOSX-x86_64.sh` (for Python 2)². Replace ~/Downloads with your actual path and the .sh file name with the name of the file you downloaded. Press Enter to review the license agreement and press and hold Enter to scroll through it. Enter "yes" to agree to the license agreement and continue with the installation.
3. Choose the installation location and mode. Anaconda recommends that you choose **Install for me only**¹ and install conda into your home folder. If you do not want to install conda into your home folder, select **Install on a specific disk**¹ and choose your preferred location.
4. Wait for the installation to finish and close the installer. The installer may prompt you to initialize conda by running `conda init`¹. We recommend that you do so, as this will allow you to use conda from any terminal window.
5. Verify that conda is installed correctly by running `conda list` in a terminal window¹. This should display a list of installed packages. If you are on macOS 10.15+ (Catalina), the new default shell is zsh¹. You may need to initialize conda in a zsh shell by running `source <PATH_TO_CONDA>/bin/activate` followed by `conda init zsh`². Replace <PATH_TO_CONDA> with your actual path to conda.
I hope this helps you install conda onto macOS successfully. If you have any questions, please let me know.
