This repository holds a minimal installer for conda specific to conda-forge. It is comparable to Miniconda, but with
- conda-forge set as the default channel
- an emphasis on supporting various CPU architectures
Miniforge installers are available here: https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases
Latest installers with python 3.8 in the base environment
- linux-aarch64 (also called
arm64) - linux-ppc64le (also called
POWER8/9) - linux-x86_64 (also called
amd64) - osx-x86_64
- osx-arm64 (Apple Silicon)
Latest installers with pypy3.6 in the base environment
Follow the aarch64 and ppc64le migration status here: https://conda-forge.org/status/
- Automatic build of constructor.
- Automatic upload of constructor results.
- Automatic testing of constructor.
- Integration with conda-forge's developer documentation.
- Integration with conda-forge's official site.
- Upstream to Anaconda ?
After construction on Travis, the installer is tested against a range of distribution that match the installer architecture ($ARCH). For example when architecture is aarch64, the constructed installer is tested against:
- Centos 7
- Debian Buster (10)
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 19.10
- Ubuntu 20.04
Installers are built and uploaded via Travis but if you want to construct your own Miniforge installer, here is how:
# Configuration
export ARCH=aarch64
export DOCKERIMAGE=condaforge/linux-anvil-aarch64
bash build_miniforge.shTo release a new version of Miniforge:
- Make a new pre-release on GitHub with name
$CONDA_VERSION-$BUILD_NUMBER - Wait until all artifacts are uploaded by CI
- For each build, we upload 3 artifacts
- One installer with the version name
- One installer without the version name
- The SHA256
- At the time of writing, the is a sum of 27 artifacts, and with the two sources, we expect a grand total of 29 artifacts.
- For each build, we upload 3 artifacts
- Mark the pre-release as a release
NOTE: using a pre-release is important to make sure the latest links work.
