IMPORTANT

This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.

  • Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
  • This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
  • You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
  • There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
WARNING

There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.

miniforge3 has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Notes

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

  • Binary files (.exe, .msi, .zip) have been included. The reviewer will ensure the maintainers have distribution rights. More...

miniforge3 has failed automated package testing (verification).
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/2cd940237c96c008238e0ef21c97229d for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.
Description

Miniforge3 installs the conda package manager with the following features pre-configured:

You can provide parameters for the installation (conda docs).
To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades.

  • /InstallationType:[AllUsers|JustMe]
    • Default: AllUsers (install for all users)
  • /RegisterPython:[0|1]
    • Default: 1 (register miniforge3 python as the system's default)
  • /AddToPath:[0|1]
    • Default: 0 (do not add miniforge3 directories to path)
    • Note: As of Miniforge3 4.12.0-0, you cannot add miniforge3 to the PATH environment during an AllUsers installation.
      This was done to address a security exploit
      (additional information).
  • /D:(installation path)
    • Default for AllUsers: $toolsDir\miniforge3
      ($toolsDir is the path returned by chocolatey's Get-ToolsLocation function and defaults to C:\tools)
    • Default for JustMe: $Env:LOCALAPPDATA\miniforge3
      ($Env:LOCALAPPDATA is set by Windows and defaults to C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local)

Example: choco install miniforge3 --params="'/InstallationType:JustMe /AddToPath:1'".
