:ref:`(Q) <mfaq_anaconda_delay>` **Why does my new version appear on Anaconda Cloud, but is not installable with conda?**

For certain, high-traffic channels (main & conda-forge), Anaconda uses a `CDN <https://cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/what-is-a-cdn/>`_ to decrease costs. The CDN is only reindexed every 20 minutes, however `Anaconda.org https://anaconda.org>`_ uses the original channel that the CDN mirrors. Therefore, packages will show up on the `Anaconda Cloud https://anaconda.org>`_ about 20 to 40 minutes before they are downloadable via conda. You can use ``conda search <pkg>`` to see if the package is installable, because this command reads from the CDN.

:ref:`(Q) <mfaq_mamba_local>` **Is it possible to use mamba instead of conda, while testing?**
75+
76+
Yes, it is. If you want to run in the CI
77+
- Set ``build_with_mambabuild: True to conda-forge.yaml``
78+
- Rerender with ``conda-smithy``
79+
(Remember to remove this configuration before merge.)
80+
81+
You can also run tests locally by using:
82+
``conda install conda-smithy -c conda-forge && conda smithy rerender``
83+
Important: the builds made with mambabuild won't be uploaded to conda-forge, this is purely for debugging (as of now).
84+
85+
Another way to test using mamba, is directly buiding your recipe using:
86+
``conda install boa -c conda-forge``
87+
Then you can use ``conda mambabuild myrecipe``
