mamba upgrade to 1.x

Question

I have mamba 0.27 installed on my mac OS. How can I upgrade to mamba 1.x?

Can I simply do a fresh re-installation of the newer version, if I want to keep my existing mamba environments and settings?

I checked mamba's documentation, and I searched in internet, but could not find any "how to upgrade" information.

thanks!

Mamba is like any other package in a Conda environment and can be updated like:

mamba update -n base mamba

If that doesn't update (perhaps due to needing dependencies updated), another option is to use a minimum version:

mamba install -n base 'mamba>=1'
