Executing just ``conda`` should print the help of the ``conda`` command. If your shell does not find the ``conda`` command, make sure that the Conda binaries are in your ``$PATH``. If ``$ echo $PATH`` does not show the Conda directories, add them: execute ``$ export PATH=$HOME/miniconda3/bin:$PATH`` if you installed Conda into ``~/miniconda3``.
Download the `ARTIQ installer script <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m-labs/artiq/master/install-with-conda.py>`_ and edit its beginning to define the Conda environment name (you can leave the default environment name if you are just getting started) and select the desired ARTIQ packages. Non-ARTIQ packages should be installed manually later.
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 this script. 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, and list them at the beginning of the script.
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 --append channels conda-forge
$ conda install -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 are never necessary for using an ARTIQ system without reflashing it.

Make sure the base Conda environment is activated and then run the installer script: ::
$ conda activate base
$ python install-with-conda.py

When upgrading ARTIQ or when testing different versions it is recommended that new Conda environments are created instead of upgrading the packages in existing environments.
Keep previous environments around until you are certain that they are not needed anymore and a new environment is known to work correctly.
To install the latest version, just select a different environment name and run the installer script again.
To install the latest version, just select a different environment name and run the installation command again.
Switching between Conda environments using commands such as ``$ conda deactivate artiq-6`` and ``$ conda activate artiq-5`` is the recommended way to roll back to previous versions of ARTIQ.
