conda-store (core)

The conda-store repository on GitHub consists of two separate, yet related, packages:

• conda-store-server: web server and workers that together provide the conda-store "service" through a REST API
• conda-store (client): a client that interacts with the service to offer a user-facing command line interface

Pre-requisites

• Python 3.8 or later
• conda, if installing from scratch we recommend you install miniforge or miniconda.
• constructor: https://github.com/conda/constructor

warning

conda is a hard requirement for conda-store and since it is not pip installable you need to have conda installed before using conda-store.

Quick start

1. Create and activate a new conda environment:

conda create -n conda-store-env python=<Python version of choice>
conda activate conda-store-env

2. Install conda-store with conda or pip:

conda

conda install -c conda-forge conda-store conda-store-server constructor

pip

# note that we still recommend you use conda to create an environment
# conda create -n conda-store-env python=<Python version of choice>
# conda activate conda-store-env
python -m pip install conda-store conda-store-server

# install constructor
conda install -c conda-forge constructor

3. Start a standalone local instance and use the conda-store UI

conda-store-server  --standalone

You can then access conda-store at localhost:8080 of the machine running it.

4. Use the CLI

conda-store --help
