About conda-forge

IMPORTANT: The conda-forge community chat has moved to conda-forge.zulipchat.com. This subforum is now archived and won’t allow new posts.


A community-led collection of recipes, build infrastructure and distributions for the conda package manager.

Use this category to ask questions about installing packages from conda-forge, submitting new recipes, and helping maintain its ecosystem. General questions about how conda-forge operates or suggesting an improvement are also welcome!

Note that conda-forge relies on a lot of tools from the conda ecosystem, like conda-build, mamba and grayskull, so please check whether your question is a better fit for a tool-specific category before asking about it here. That said, conda-forge does have its own tools too! Feel free to ask questions about conda-smithy, migrations, automation or the bot infrastructure, to name a few.
