conda install mamba -c conda-forge

Afterwards, create the environment using mamba.

mamba create --name devbio-napari-env python=3.9 devbio-napari -c conda-forge

alternatively:

conda create --name devbio-napari-env python=3.9 devbio-napari -c conda-forge

Afterwards, activate the environment like this:

conda activate devbio-napari-env

Mac-users please also install this:

Troubleshooting: Graphics cards drivers

In case error messages contains “ImportError: DLL load failed while importing cl: The specified procedure could not be found” see also or “”clGetPlatformIDs failed: PLATFORM_NOT_FOUND_KHR”, please install recent drivers for your graphics card and/or OpenCL device. Select the right driver source depending on your hardware from this list:

• AMD drivers

• NVidia drivers

• Intel CPU OpenCL drivers

• Microsoft Windows OpenCL support

In case installation didn’t work in the first attempt, you may have to call this command line to reset the napari configuration:

napari --reset
