I get following unsatisfiable requirement error when installing **mamba**

Can you share the output of:

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.status()

```

Does it work if you create a new project:

```julia
mkdir test
cd test
julia --project="."

```

and then in Julia

```julia
using Pkg
pkg"add Mamba"

```

?

Please read: [Working with Julia projects | Julia programming notes](https://ufechner7.github.io/2022/08/16/julia-projects.html)

It is a good idea to create a new Julia project for each new programming project. If you are not doing that you pollute your global environment with a lot of packages that you probably don’t need any longer. And then you will have problems to install new packages.

Mamba is not maintained anymore. I recommend avoiding it in favor of alternatives.
