How to run miniforge prompt with Powershell?

[MordorianGuy]

Comment:

I have usually used anaconda before that provides "Anaconda Powershell Prompt" running a console corresponding to an environment where I could use conda commands. But I have found only "Miniforge prompt" running a cmd console not Powershell. How to run it in Powershell? I tried to run corresponding bat files (activate.bat & conda.bat activate) but nothing happened.

You can run powershell from cmd but I think we can port the shortcut over to conda-forge too.

just do conda init powershell or mamba init powershell from the miniforge prompt and then you can use powershell as well.

is the package that we would have to port over: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/powershell_shortcut ???

Hello everyone,
I am trying to integrate miniforge release 24.7.1-2 into powershell 5.1. I did conda and mamba init powershell. After this I can call the mamba command from PS and create environments. But it is still not possible to activate an environment with mamba activate mytestenv. No errors are thrown, but the active environment is still base. With conda activate mytestenv it works. My PS profile file looks like this:

#region conda initialize
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
If (Test-Path "C:\Users\mysusername\mambaforge\Scripts\conda.exe") {
    (& "C:\Users\myusername\mambaforge\Scripts\conda.exe" "shell.powershell" "hook") | Out-String | ?{$_} | Invoke-Expression
}
#endregion

What I have to add to work with the mamba command? I use Winsows 10 pro, V. 2009

This is a known issue of windows, see mamba-org/mamba#1717

today with the introduction of conda-libmamba-solver the advantages of mamba are much more muted.

I think conda should be pretty fast. if that is an acceptable that should get you around most headaches.

Ok, so long conda and mamba don't conflict both are fine for me. Thank You all for comments!
