Description of proposed changes

  • Replace Mamba commands with Conda commands in the six files identified in the issue.
  • Collapse duplicated Mamba/Conda tab sets into shorter, single-path Conda instructions.
  • Update optional-dependency error messages and the GMT release checklist to recommend Conda.
  • Keep historical changelog references unchanged.

Conda has used the libmamba solver by default since 2023, so a separate Mamba path no longer provides enough benefit to justify duplicated instructions.

Fixes #4763

Preview:

Validation

  • Repository pre-commit hooks on all six changed files
  • Ruff check and format check on the modified Python modules
  • Codespell on all changed files
  • git diff --check
  • Verified zero Mamba references remain in the six issue targets
