When using mamba to install packages or create environments, you may see errors related to opening files in /packages/apps/mamba. These errors are harmless. An example is shown below.

Always verify the Prefix: is pointing where you need it to before proceeding with an installation, but otherwise, errors and warnings made by mamba may be ignored.

It is also good practice to verify what is being installed as a new package, what existing packages are being modified, and what existing packages are being removed before proceeding with the install.

Please review the mamba install section below for a summary of the components of mamba install.
