+On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Miniconda for the local user,
+which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of
+installation. However, if you need to, you can install Miniconda system wide,
+which does require administrator permissions.

+
+Miniconda's installers contain the conda package manager, Python, and a few necessary packages. Once Miniconda is
+installed, you can use the conda command to install any other packages and create environments.
+
+For example:
+
+ .. container:: highlight-bash notranslate
+
+    .. container:: highlight
+
+       ::
+
+          $ conda install numpy
+          ...
+          $ conda create -n py3k anaconda python=3
+          ...
+
+There are two variants of the installer: Miniconda is Python 2 based, while Miniconda3 is Python 3 based.
+Which Miniconda is installed only affects the root environment. Regardless of which version of Miniconda you
+install, you can still use conda to install both Python 2.x and Python 3.x environments.
+
+However, Miniconda3 (the Python 3 version of Miniconda) will default to Python 3 when creating new environments 
+and building packages.
+
+For example, take the command below:
+
+ .. container:: highlight-bash notranslate
+
+    .. container:: highlight
+
+       ::
+
+          $ conda create -n myenv python
+
+Miniconda (Python 2 based) installs Python 2.7, while Miniconda3 (Python 3 based) installs Python 3.11 by default.
+You can override the default by explicitly setting ``python=2`` or ``python=3`` when creating the environment. The
+Miniconda version also determines the default value of ``CONDA_PY`` when using ``conda build``.
+
+ .. note::
+    If you already have Miniconda or Anaconda installed, and you just want to upgrade, you should
+    not use the installer. Just use ``conda update conda``.

+System requirements
+===================
+
+* License: Free use and redistribution under the terms of the `EULA for Miniconda <https://legal.anaconda.com/policies/en?name=offering-specific-terms#miniconda>`_.
+* Operating system: Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit macOS 10.13+, or Linux, including Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS 7+, and others.
+* If your operating system is older than what is currently supported, you can find older versions of the Miniconda installers in our `archive <https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/>`_ that might work for you.
+* System architecture: Windows- 64-bit x86, 32-bit x86; macOS- 64-bit x86 & Apple M1 (ARM64); Linux- 64-bit x86, 64-bit aarch64 (AWS Graviton2), 64-bit IBM Power8/Power9, s390x (Linux on IBM Z & LinuxONE).
+* The ``linux-aarch64`` Miniconda installer requires ``glibc >=2.26`` and thus will **not** work with CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, or Debian 9 ("stretch").
+* Minimum 400 MB disk space to download and install.
+
+On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Miniconda for the local user,
+which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of
+installation. However, if you need to, you can install Miniconda system wide,
+which does require administrator permissions.
