+
+RIA Toolkit OSS can be installed into any Conda environment. However, it is recommended to install within the base environment of 
+`Radioconda <https://github.com/radioconda/radioconda-installer>`_, which includes `GNU Radio <https://www.gnuradio.org/>`_ and several pre-configured libraries for
+common SDR devices. Detailed instructions for installing and setting up Radioconda are available in the project README.
+
+Please follow the steps below to install RIA Toolkit OSS using Conda:
+
+1. Before installing RIA Toolkit OSS into your Conda environment, update the Conda package manager:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+      
+      conda update --force conda
+
+   This ensures that the Conda package manager is fully up-to-date, allowing new or updated packages to be installed into the base environment without conflicts.
+
+2. Add RIA Hub to your Conda channel configuration:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      conda config --add channels https://riahub.ai/api/packages/qoherent/conda
+
+3. Activate your Conda environment and install RIA Toolkit OSS. For example, with Radioconda:
 
    .. code-block:: bash
 
       conda activate base
       conda install ria-toolkit-oss
