 Set up the Conda channel and install ARTIQ into a new Conda environment: ::
 
-    $ conda config --prepend channels https://conda.m-labs.hk/artiq-beta
+    $ conda config --prepend channels https://conda.m-labs.hk/artiq
     $ conda config --append channels conda-forge
     $ conda create -n artiq artiq
 
 .. note::
-  If you do not need to flash boards, the ``artiq`` package is sufficient. The packages named ``artiq-board-*`` contain only firmware for the FPGA board, and you should not install them unless you are reflashing an FPGA board. Controllers for third-party devices (e.g. Thorlabs TCube, Lab Brick Digital Attenuator, etc.) that are not shipped with ARTIQ can also be installed with Conda. Browse `Hydra <https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/project/artiq>`_ or see the list of NDSPs in this manual to find the names of the corresponding packages.
+  The board-specific files containing bitstream and firmware for the FPGA board can be obtained through AFWS, and are only required when flashing. Controllers for third-party devices (e.g. Thorlabs TCube, Lab Brick Digital Attenuator, etc.) that are not shipped with ARTIQ can also be installed with Conda.

 After the installation, activate the newly created environment by name. ::
