title: Install Anaconda Navigator with Miniforge (Mac with M1 chip)
body: <p>I have a MacBook with an M1 chip and have installed miniforge since this will run natively on the M1 chip.</p>
  <p><strong>Question</strong>: How do I install Anaconda Navigator so that it uses the miniforge environment when I use it to launch Spyder and Jupyterlab? Or is this currently not possible?</p>
  <p>If I run <code>conda install anaconda-navigator</code>, I get a <code>PackagesNotFoundError</code>. I believe this is expected.</p>
  <p>If I understand correctly, one alternative is to install both miniconda (currently x86 only) and miniforge (e.g. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2qlou7n7MA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jeff Heaton's video</a>).</p>
