+# Setting Up and Managing a Conda Environment for MkDocs
+
+## 1. Creating a New Conda Environment
+
+### environment.yml
+
+Create an `environment.yml` file with the following content:
+
+```yaml
+name: mkdocs-env
+channels:
+  - conda-forge
+dependencies:
+  - python=3.11
+  - pip
+  - jupyter
+  - matplotlib
+  - nbconvert
+  - pip:
+    - mkdocs
+    - mkdocs-material
+    - mkdocs-mermaid2-plugin
+    - mkdocs-jupyter
+    - mkdocs-bibtex
+    - mkdocs-exclude
+```
+
+### requirements.txt
+
+Create a `requirements.txt` file with the following content:
+
+```txt
+mkdocs
+mkdocs-material
+mkdocs-mermaid2-plugin
+mkdocs-jupyter
+mkdocs-bibtex
+mkdocs-exclude
+```
+
+### Steps to Create the Environment
+
+1. **Create the Conda Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda env create -f environment.yml
+   ```
+
+2. **Activate the Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda activate mkdocs-env
+   ```
+
+3. **Install Additional pip Packages**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+## 2. Updating an Existing Conda Environment
+
+If you already have an environment named `mkdocs-env` and want to update it with new dependencies:
+
+### Steps to Update the Environment
+
+1. **Update the Conda Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda env update -f environment.yml --prune
+   ```
+
+2. **Activate the Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda activate mkdocs-env
+   ```
+
+3. **Install Additional pip Packages**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+The `--prune` flag ensures that any dependencies that are no longer needed are removed.
+
+## 3. Removing an Existing Conda Environment
+
+If you need to remove an existing environment before creating a new one:
+
+### Steps to Remove and Recreate the Environment
+
+1. **Remove the Existing Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda env remove -n mkdocs-env
+   ```
+
+2. **Create the Conda Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda env create -f environment.yml
+   ```
+
+3. **Activate the Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   conda activate mkdocs-env
+   ```
+
+4. **Install Additional pip Packages**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+## 4. Including MathJax in MkDocs
+
+Since `mkdocs-mathjax` is not available on PyPI, include MathJax via CDN in your `mkdocs.yml` configuration file:
+
+### Example `mkdocs.yml`
+
+```yaml
+site_name: My MkDocs Site
+theme:
+  name: material
+
+extra_javascript:
+  - https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/3.2.0/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js
+
+markdown_extensions:
+  - extra
+  - toc:
+      permalink: true
+  - pymdownx.superfences
+  - pymdownx.inlinehilite
+  - pymdownx.highlight
+  - pymdownx.arithmatex
+
+plugins:
+  - search
+  - mermaid2
+  - mkdocs-jupyter
+  - bibtex
+  - exclude:
+      glob:
+        - "*.tmp"
+        - "*.log"
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+1. **Create or Update Conda Environment**:
+   - `conda env create -f environment.yml`
+   - `conda env update -f environment.yml --prune`
+
+2. **Activate the Environment**:
+   - `conda activate mkdocs-env`
+
+3. **Install pip Packages**:
+   - `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+
+4. **Configure MathJax**:
+   - Add MathJax via CDN in `mkdocs.yml`.
+
+Following these steps will ensure your MkDocs environment is properly set up and maintained. If you have any further questions or run into issues, feel free to ask!
