I just installed mambaforge on Windows 10, I don't have Anaconda installed yet as suggested in mamba docs. What I want to do achieve is to have the same packages installed you get when you install Anaconda from scracth.
Is there a way to retrieve the list of packages installed in Anaconda and install them using mamba? Or do I have to install Anaconda before installing Mamba? My goal is to have a basic Anaconda environment for testing purposes.
I tried: mamba create -n fullanaconda anaconda but I get: "nothing provides requested anaconda" from mamba. (source)
It feels like I'm missing something important, any help would be appreciated.
mamba info returns:

The anaconda meta-package is only available from the anaconda channel, so it should work with
mamba create -n fullanaconda -c anaconda anaconda
