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 `_ or see the list of NDSPs in this manual to find the names of the corresponding packages. +.. note:: + On Windows, if the last command that creates and installs the ARTIQ environment fails with an error similar to "seeking backwards is not allowed", try to re-run the command with admin rights. + +.. note:: + For commercial use you might need a license for Anaconda/Miniconda or for using the Anaconda package channel. `Miniforge `_ might be an alternative in a commercial environment as it does not include the Anaconda package channel by default. If you want to use Anaconda/Miniconda/Miniforge in a commercial environment, please check the license and the latest terms of service. + After the installation, activate the newly created environment by name. :: $ conda activate artiq
