> finding conda to install seems to be its own process

    brew install miniconda

brew comes from:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Don't take my word for it, visit https://brew.sh.

I’m still stubbornly using MacPorts. If it ain’t broke…

But given that the entire world of technical documentation assumes all technically-inclined people using Macs are using Homebrew, I’ll probably have to give up and switch over at some point. But not yet.

Grew up on BSD so I feel you. I'd say it became time to give in after they cleaned up need for su and put everything in opt.

In fact, if you used it before they cleaned all that up, or used it before moving from Intel to ARM and did a restore to the new arch instead of fresh install, it's worth doing a brew dump to a Brewfile, uninstalling ALL packages and brew, and reinstalling fresh on this side of the permissions and path cleanups.
