- Install **Micromamba** with default settings (if it’s not already installed in the default path).
- Create a Micromamba environment containing **OptimaLab35** (installed via `pip`).
- Create a desktop shortcut for launching OptimaLab35.
If you do **not** want to use Micromamba or have it installed in a different location, see **line 41** of the installer script (where `$DESKTOP_DIR/OptimaLab35.desktop` is created) and adjust accordingly.
This script is **not** meant to be a universal installer for all Python environments - it’s tailored for my setup using Micromamba for quick deployment with a desktop shortcut.
**Tip:** You can paste the URL into your browser to review the script before running it - you should never blindly execute random scripts from the internet.

## How it Works
1.**Micromamba Check**
- If `micromamba` is not found in its default location (`~/micromamba`), it is installed automatically using:
- During installation, **use the default settings** - just press Enter for each prompt (binary folder, init shell, configure conda-forge, and prefix location).
