   * `Miniforge installer for Linux <https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/>`_.

#. :ref:`Verify your installer hashes <hash-verification>`.

#. In your terminal window, run:

   .. code::

      bash <conda-installer-name>-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

   ``conda-installer-name`` will be one of "Miniconda3", "Anaconda", or "Miniforge3".

   terminal window.
