• To install the tar.xz package for Linux, run (sudo) tar -xJf mantid-VA.B.C.tar.xz in a terminal and it will unzip the package in your current working directory.
• To install via conda:
  • Use Intel Conda and make sure conda-forge is added to channels

    mamba create -n mantid_rc1 -c mantid/label/v6.10.0rc1 mantidworkbench --yes
    mamba activate mantid_rc1
    workbench # to launch

ISIS only, if possible, so catalogue access can be tested

• [x] MantidWorkbench opens without errors or warnings
• [x] Every option in Interface opens a GUI
• [x] Load some test data
• [x] Access Catalogue through algorithms (use Facilities account, same as for IDAaaS): CatalogLogin and CatalogGetDataFiles
• [x] Saving/loading projects works
  • [x] Alter preferences in File > Settings and check they are obeyed
