How to install conda without Anaconda or Miniconda installer?

I don’t want to use Anaconda or Miniconda as they install their own version of Python. I need just the conda package manager which I can use with my existing version of Python in existing virtual env. Is there any way to install conda package manager which can work with existing Python installation?

No, this is not possible:

Currently supported install methods include the Anaconda installer and the miniconda installer.

From here

You will either need to install miniconda/anaconda, or use another package manager.

Alternatively, you can use miniforge and its variants, but they still all come "with their own version of python". I don't know of a way to use conda with an existing installation of python

There is a conda-forge alternative to miniconda, https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#download. This offers many packages not found with anaconda. You can have multiple versions of Python installed, so find the equivalent version of Python that you have installed and select that with the conda command and then pull all the other packages you need to match that from the anaconda or conda-forge trees. You can't mix conda with any other environment manager (and use of pip is possible but not a good idea), but the conda environment works well.
