Instructions to use conda do not work... I'd rather use conda, not use WSL.

Where is the problem?

What can we do better?

When I run the command to create a conda environment I get an error as follows:

(base) C:\Users\PowerUser>conda create -n max-project -c conda-forge -c https://conda.modular.com/max/ python=3.11 max=* -y

Anything else?

I'd love to use Mojo when it is ready for Windows. I use conda all the time on Windows. I'll check back in on this question, because maybe it is just a problem with the command syntax, LibMamba, or the Max version.

Thanks for reporting! We don't currently support native Windows (see the get-started) but MAX works with WSL. Conda is just a distribution channel.
