- b. All other users, download and install `Miniconda `_.
+#. Install the core RMG Python package::
- The download will be a .sh file with a name like ``Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh``.
- Open a terminal in the same directory as this file, and type the following to install Conda

- Note that you should reinitialize or restart your terminal in order for the changes to take effect, as the installer will tell you.
+.. NOTE::
+ Arkane and RMG can both be run without installing RMS, though with a reduced feature set.
+ Arkane will use the slower ``scipy`` solvers instead of ``diffeqpy`` when solving the master equation
+ and RMG will lose some advanced reactor types and the sensitivity analysis feature.
-#. Install both RMG and the RMG-database binaries through the terminal. Dependencies will be installed automatically. It is safest to make a new conda environment for RMG and its dependencies. Type the following command into the terminal to create the new environment named 'rmg_env' containing the latest stable version of the RMG program and its database. ::
