Try [reading the documentation of `Conda.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl/blob/bc304f8f8dad0cf78fbba151bed61ebe26fe6589/README.md#using-miniforge)

> ## Using Miniforge
> 
> Miniforge is a community based conda installer by `conda-forge`, a part of NumFOCUS.  
> Using miniforge and conda-forge in general avoids using `repo.anaconda.com`  
> maintained by Anaconda, Inc which has terms of conditions that you may want to avoid.  
> `conda-forge` packages are hosted on `anaconda.org`, but Anaconda, Inc has been  
> providing hosting for free under the terms of `conda-forge` which is `BSD-3-Clause`  
> on top of the original license of the software packages. To use miniforge, use  
> the `CONDA_JL_USE_MINIFORGE` environment variable.
> 
> ```jl
> julia> ENV["CONDA_JL_USE_MINIFORGE"] = "1"
> 
> pkg> build Conda
> 
> ```
> 
> Also note that you have to use Miniforge for `aarch64-linux-gnu` and  
> `aarch64-apple-darwin` platforms as Miniconda is not available for those platforms yet.

This is actually the default in the `master` branch of `Conda.jl`, but it didn’t make it to a release yet
