Building Your Own Packages

You can easily build your own packages for conda, and upload them to Binstar, a free service for hosting packages for conda, as well as other package managers. To build a package, create a recipe. See http://github.com/conda/conda-recipes for many example recipes, and http://conda.pydata.org/docs/build.html for documentation on how to build recipes.

To upload to Binstar, create an account on binstar.org. Then, install the binstar client and login

$ conda install binstar
$ binstar login

Then, after you build your recipe

$ conda build <recipe-dir>

you will be prompted to upload to binstar.

To add your Binstar channel, or the channel of others to conda so that conda install will find and install their packages, run

$ conda config --add channels https://conda.binstar.org/username

(replacing username with the user name of the person whose channel you want to add).
