Installer for Aarch64 (and ppc64le) #871
Comments

I'd be in favor of this. The question is where to host the installer? Perhaps a GitHub release would be reasonable with a link to the installer from the conda-forge.org. |
|
Github release seems prudent. |
|
@hmaarrfk, let us know what we can do to help like creating a github repo, activating a CI, etc. |
|
Thoughts @msarahan? |

forge-conda? |

An aarch64 flavor of conda provided by Anaconda or conda-forge would indeed be super nice. Any news or ETA on this? What does remain to be done? Anything I can do to help. In the meantime, I use Archiconda which does the job well. |
|
somebody needs to test it on real metal hardware. I got RPi4, but still haven't had a chance to connect it to a monitor. |
|
I just tested the last Archiconda3 installer on an Rpi4 with Ubuntu 19.10 arm64 and it works perfectly. I couldn't installed either update conda because of an issue with the university network here (DNS won't resolve) but I'll report once it works. |

Waiting for the DNS issue to be solved I tried to build an installer with the packages I need: name: Archiconda

ERROR: could not extract tar starting at offset 000000000000011467+9231072+2I guess it's because the installer is x86_64 only compatible. Any idea of how I could build an installer that works on arm64? Docker (but then how do you initially install Also, I noticed a pretty important package is not available yet for arm64: |

Btw, we can get rid of |

I just setup a repo (for my own company) that would use Travis to upload binaries to GitHub on tags. If we have a name setup for the installer, I'm glad to setup a CI to get everything going at this stage. We can eventually build up automated tests to test it invarious docker instances for different flavors of Linux. |
|
So I have been able to build my own installer and everything works smoothly (except for An official (or at least semi-official) installer would be nice indeed. Happy to help/test/debug if needed. |
|
The Archiconda one comes pretty close. I would only rename it and move it locations. Is anything (other than matplotlib) missing? |
|
But you only need to build a minimum installer. People can install whatever they want after the installation. Thanks anyway for doing that! |
|
Right, so archiconda is that minimal installer with ths idea that people will update and install whatever they want. We could call it Bananaconda |
|
But honestly, I like archi conda. So if you create a repo for me, I'll just run a chron or something on it that would create weekly releases with the archi conda constructor above |
|
Archiconda looks fine to me but I don't really have a strong feeling about it. |
|
Some feedback with the Rpi 4 Ubuntu 19.10 (arm64). I installed archiconda (the old version) and was able to update all the packages Then I installed matplotlib, numpy, scipy and pandas. Everything runs smoothly and works without a glitch. Honestly, I wasn't excepting those packages to work out-of-the-box like that. Great job guys as always. |
|
How about |
|
I like it. Would miniforge be only for arm64 and ppc64le? If it's an installer released by conda-forge, why not providing also other flavors such as win64, linux_x86_64 and so forth? |
|
Miniforge is good. Muscle memory with mini tab Carries over |

As for what packages to include, I would stick to what's in Miniconda. Here is a list on a Linux system from a freshly installed Miniconda: asn1crypto==1.2.0
certifi==2019.9.11
cffi==1.13.0
chardet==3.0.4
conda==4.7.12
conda-package-handling==1.6.0
cryptography==2.8

pycosat==0.6.3
pycparser==2.19
pyOpenSSL==19.0.0
PySocks==1.7.1

You were able to install other packages with the archiconda installer. I think that is all that will be in there. Pip, python, conda |
|
@hmaarrfk, I've given you permissions, so that you can enable CI, make releases etc. |
|
We should make a team for that. |
|
Good to close? |
Now that the aarch migration is well underway, it seems like it would be to create a
