### Updating



  To update to a new version of ISIS up to version 3.9.1, simply run `conda update isis3`

  To update to the newest version of ISIS, run `mamba update -c usgs-astrogeology isis`



  To update to our latest release candidate up to version 3.9.1, run `conda update -c usgs-astrogeology -c usgs-astrogeology/label/RC isis3`

  To update to our latest release candidate , run `mamba update -c usgs-astrogeology/label/RC isis`



  Note that for ISIS versions 3.10 and above, new versions and release candidates will only be

  available under the package name `isis` and `conda update isis3` and  

  `conda update -c usgs-astrogeology -c usgs-astrogeology/label/RC isis3`

  will no longer work for additional updates. Instead, after installing an `isis` package,

  `conda update isis` should be used to update to a new version and

  `conda update -c usgs-astrogeology/label/RC isis` to update to a new release candidate.
