Important: Before installing MPS, complete the following steps:
1. Download and install
Git.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Download and install
Anaconda / Miniforge.
4. Open the Anaconda Prompt on Windows (or Terminal on macOS) and run:
conda init powershell
conda init cmd.exe
After this, close and reopen all terminals, then proceed with the MPS installer.
Optional (Recommended): Install Mamba to significantly speed up the environment setup process.
Mamba is a fast drop-in replacement for Conda and can shorten the initial MPS installation by several minutes.
To install Mamba into your base environment, open the Anaconda Prompt on Windows
(or Terminal on macOS) and run:
conda install -n base -c conda-forge mamba
After installation, mamba will automatically speed up environment creation during the MPS setup.
(This step is optional — MPS will still work without it.)
Windows 10/11 • 64-bit • ~10 GB during first-run setup
macOS: On first open, click Open if prompted (app is signed & notarized). The launcher mirrors code to ~/Library/Application Support/MPS/, creates a conda env, and opens Terminal with logs.
Windows: If SmartScreen appears, click More info → Run anyway. Right-click installer → Run as administrator.
