If you installed RAPIDS using Docker for Windows on Windows 10, the container will have [limits](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43460770/docker-windows-container-memory-limit) on the amount of RAM it can use. If you find that RAPIDS crashes due to running out of memory, [increase](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56583203/6030343) this limit.
4. Install miniconda (restart your terminal afterwards)
``` bash
brew cask install miniconda
conda init zsh # (or conda init bash)
```
5. Clone our repo
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/carissalow/rapids
```
6. Create a python virtual environment
``` bash
cd rapids
conda env create -f environment.yml -n rapids
conda activate rapids
```
7. Install R packages and virtual environment:
``` bash
snakemake -j1 renv_install
snakemake -j1 renv_restore
```
!!! note
This step could take several minutes to complete, especially if you have less than 3Gb of RAM or packages need to be compiled from source. Please be patient and let it run until completion.
We tested RAPIDS on Ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04. Note that the necessary Python and R packages are available in other Linux distributions, so if you decide to give it a try, let us know and we can update these docs.

- You can use our Ubuntu 20.04 instructions on [WSL2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) (not tested but it will likely work)
- Native installation (experimental). If you would like to contribute to RAPIDS you could try to install MySQL, miniconda, Python, and R 4.0+ in Windows and restore the Python and R virtual environments using steps 6 and 7 of the instructions for Mac. You can [get in touch](../../team) if you would like to discuss this with the team.
