If you installed Python with conda, we recommend to create a dedicated
`conda environment`_ with all the build dependencies of scikit-learn
(namely NumPy_, SciPy_, Cython_, meson-python_ and Ninja_):

.. prompt:: bash $

conda create -n sklearn-env -c conda-forge python=3.9 numpy scipy cython meson-python ninja
conda create -n sklearn-env -c conda-forge python numpy scipy cython meson-python ninja

It is not always necessary but it is safer to open a new prompt before
activating the newly created conda environment.
