Provide pre-built conda package

Open diego-plan9 opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Description and motivation

In the same way we provide pip wheels, it would be great to also provide conda packages for each release, for convenience to end users. This continues the work in #21 and might be able to help closing #58 (as in ironing out and testing further).

Proposed solution

Currently depend on two packages that are not in the main anaconda channel (pytorch and scikit-build). We should find out if it is possible to contribute to conda-forge and follow its procedures, which is incidentally the channel where scikit-build is available (and it seems that there is also a pytorch recipe, although lagging behind the official channel quite a bit).

Alternatives and other information

If depending on channels outside conda-forge is not an option, an alternative might be to register our own channel, although that might be a bit too far fetched. Another alternative would be including a base meta.yaml in this repository along with instructions on how to build the package manually.
