linuxdeploy-plugin-conda

Python plugin for linuxdeploy. Sets up miniconda inside an AppDir, and installs user-specified packages.

Usage

# get linuxdeploy and linuxdeploy-plugin-conda (see below for more information)
# configure environment variables which control the plugin's behavior
> export CONDA_CHANNELS=mychannel;myotherchannel CONDA_PACKAGES=mypackage;myotherpackage
# call through linuxdeploy
> ./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir AppDir --plugin conda --output appimage --icon mypackage.png --desktop-file mypackage.desktop

There are many variables available to alter the behavior of the plugin. The current list can be obtained by calling the plugin with --help.

Example

This generates a working FreeCAD AppImage from Conda ingredients, including Qt and PyQt:

wget -c "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheAssassin/linuxdeploy-plugin-conda/master/linuxdeploy-plugin-conda.sh"
wget -c "https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage"
chmod +x linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage linuxdeploy-plugin-conda.sh
