2. Install mamba

   conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge

3. Clone the course Python environments from GitHub

   git clone https://github.com/RUG-Elective/python-environments.git

4. Change into the working directory with the cloned environment files

   cd python-environments

Creating the environment for students

1. Create the python environment using mamba

   mamba env create -f geospatial-student.yml

2. Activate the new environment and update JupyterLab

   conda activate geospatial-student
