- support for Mamba_ in place of Conda, which is a reimplementation of the conda package manager in C++ that allows parallel downloading and much faster dependency solving
- emphasis on supporting various CPU architectures (x86_64, ppc64le, and aarch64 including Apple M1)

+In case you're using Mambaforge, you don't necessarily need to specify the conda-forge channel as it's set as the
+default (and only) channel.
Alternatively, you can of course install ISOFIT in an already existing environment by simply running:
.. code-block:: bash
- $ mamba install isofit
+ $ mamba install -c conda-forge isofit
-Of course, you can also use the Conda_ installer from the Anaconda_ or Miniconda_ package managers. The installation

-installing any packages (see above).
+Of course, you can also use the Conda_ installer from the Anaconda_ or Miniconda_ package managers, which requires the
+same procedure as using Mamba_.
Mamba_ or Conda_ are the preferred methods to install ISOFIT, as they will always install the most recent stable
release and automatically resolve all the dependencies.
