SYNOPSIS

mamba command [options]

DESCRIPTION

mamba is a fast, drop-in replacement for conda. It provides faster package resolution using the libsolv dependency solver (written in C++) and parallel downloading of packages.The tool is fully compatible with conda commands, packages, and environments. It can be used wherever conda is used and supports the same command-line interface.
