Install packages from conda-forge

We can install packages from conda-forge using conda or mamba. For example, install specific version of Pytnon as follows:

Conda or Miniforge?

This Feature is similar to ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/conda, but differs in options and arm64 platform support.

Mambaforge or micormamba?

The ghcr.io/mamba-org/devcontainer-features/micromamba Feature installs only micromamba, a single binary command line tool. micromamba is lightweight, so installation is quick.

If you do not need Conda, Mamba (which exist on top of Python) or Python by default, the micromamba Feature may be a better choice.
