Conda is moving our social media presence from Twitter/X to Mastodon and LinkedIn at the start of 2024. It’s past time to move into spaces that are welcoming and more in line with our community values. Going forward, you can find us at 🐘 @conda@fosstodon.org (https://fosstodon.org/@conda) 🔗 Conda Community on LinkedIn

Conda (Software)

Conda provides package, dependency, and environment management for any language.

Using conda provides a streamlined approach to package management, platform compatibility, environment isolation, and access to an extensive package ecosystem. It is particularly beneficial for data scientists, researchers, and developers working with diverse software requirements across different projects.

Conda Community

The “conda” community is made up of millions of users, packaging maintainers and tool developers. Conda is not a single organization but rather a concerted effort of many different organizations, all devoted to the mission of providing easy access to various types of free software regardless of the operating system or programming language.

We firmly believe that everyone belongs in open-source, and we want to start by thanking you for taking the time to read this page. What follows is a high level summary of all the projects and organizations which make up the conda community with links provided where you can learn more or get involved yourself. The many meanings of “conda”

Traditionally associated with the Anaconda distribution, nowadays the term “conda” refers to more than just a package manager or a software repository. Its many definitions also encompass community packaging efforts like conda-forge and bioconda, as well as new tools developed in the Mamba and conda-incubator organizations. All these efforts show that the conda ecosystem is no longer defined by a single actor and continues to grow and thrive.

Organizations on GitHub include:

Some tools you might be familiar with are conda or conda-build themselves but also community efforts like mamba, boa, setup-miniconda, conda-lock or conda-tree, among many more.

The move to Linkedin seems a bit weird but I’m glad that at least they’re also branching out to Mastodon, both are def better alternatives than fucking twitter
