We’ve been working on improving the experience for conda users who need packages from both conda and PyPI, and we’re excited to invite you to try it! 🚀 You can now opt into the conda-pypi beta, which enables conda to discover, install, and manage Python packages from PyPI natively: buff.ly/pKKBzOz

This is the year conda CLI gets a glow-up! 💅 Faster operations, clear progress, errors that actually help you fix things, better integration with PyPI, and new environment workflows. Conda maintainer Dan Yeaw laid it all out in our latest blog post 👉️

Two of the PyConDE sprints will be dedicated to the @conda.org ecosystem! I'll lead the session on conda-smithy, one of the tools behind @conda-forge.org! ・📍 Where: Darmstadt, Germany ・📅 When: Monday, Apr 13th 2026 ・🌐 More info: 2026.pycon.de/sprints/#acc...

The conda steering council recently approved a set of CEPs (conda enhancement proposals) that effectively standardize the conda ecosystem. This is a big milestone worth celebrating! 🎉 Full details at conda.org/blog/2026-03...

Read the latest Conda CLI roadmap update! 👉️ buff.ly/zObuTzI Recent highlights + what we’re building next: ⚡ sharded repodata (beta) for much faster metadata fetching 🧰 a safer way to install PyPI packages in conda envs 🔒 native lockfiles support in progress

New article alert! 🌟 "Why Package Installs Are Slow (And How to Fix It)" explains how sharded repodata (CEP-16) delivers 10x faster installs and 90% less bandwidth for conda and Pixi on conda-forge: buff.ly/Zhj0Yxd

Congratulations to our friends at Anaconda for shipping CEP-16 (sharded repodata). If you use conda-forge from anaconda.org servers, pixi & rattler-build got magically a lot faster! conda.org/blog/sharde...

Anaconda.org and conda adopt sharded repodata! 🚀 CEP 16, introduced by @prefix.dev, splits the massive repodata files into per-project shards. This allows clients to only fetch what they need, resulting in significant speedups! Instructions to opt-in and benchmarks at buff.ly/XUSXp9h

Practical Power: Reproducibility, Automation, and Layering with Conda Part 3 of the 3-part series is live! 🚀 Beyond theory into engineering practice: provenance, lockfiles, rolling distribution, and real-world workflows. #conda #packaging #python #reproducibility conda.org/blog/conda-p...

Conda in the Packaging Spectrum: From pip to Docker to Nix If conda is a distribution, where does it fit alongside pip, Docker, and Nix? Part 2 of the 3-part series! 🚀 #conda #packaging #python conda.org/blog/conda-p...

Conda ≠ PyPI Conda isn’t just another Python package manager-it’s a multi-language, user-space distribution system. In this 3-part series, we explore the fundamental differences between conda and PyPI. Part 1 is live now 👇 conda.org/blog/conda-i... #conda #packaging #python

Today we celebrate the 10th anniversary of conda-forge! Our beloved Github organization was created around this time on Apr 11th, 2015. More details: - Blog post: conda-forge.org/blog/2025/04... - Zulip thread: conda-forge.zulipchat.com#narrow/chann...

I wrote a new blog post about using `conda` without any kind of shell modifications. Just the Python entry point directly. No ~/.bashrc or Windows registry edits! Simply one more entry in PATH. rjai.me/posts/2025-0...

Lately, we’ve seen some concern & confusion among our users, so we want to clear things up. In this post, we’re breaking down the #conda ecosystem: tools, channels, installers, and how multi-stakeholder governance ensures the ecosystem remains reliable & accessible for all: https://buff.ly/3YW8uxs

We're excited to announce #conda updates for July 2024! The new releases of conda 24.7.0/24.7.1, conda-build 24.7.0 and conda-libmamba-solver 24.7.0 are now live on Anaconda's main channel and on conda-forge. 🎉

We're excited to announce #conda updates for March 2024! The new releases of conda 24.3.0 and conda-build 24.3.0 are now live on Anaconda's main channel and on conda-forge. For more information about these releases, feel free to check out our detailed blog post at conda.org/blog/2024-03....
