Install MOOSE Conda Packages

Begin by creating the moose environment within conda, and attempt to activate it:

conda create --name moose -q -y
conda activate moose

During activation, you may be presented with an error such as the following:

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run

    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh
  - powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.

This error is trying to exlain how to initialize Conda for the first time for your given shell environment. Different operating systems use different shells. To understand what shell you are using, perform the following:

echo $0

What ever is returned is your shell. With that information in hand (if you received the above error to begin with) perform the following init command:

conda init SHELL_NAME

Where SHELL_NAME is the shell you discovered in the previous step. Once complete, close any terminals you have opened, and re-open them. Then run conda activate moose again. If successful proceed to installing packages:

conda install moose-tools
conda install moose-libmesh

If you are running into additional errors, please see our troubleshooting guide for Conda.
