Anaconda
Opened this issue · 3 comments
For people with some modest export needs, isn't it a little crazy to have to spend an hour installing a 500 MB package like Anaconda for this single purpose? What about using your command-line interface for something simple?
I think the same -conda- commands can be done with Miniconda and a lot less blood flying around. Can you clarify this on the Code page?
(menotexport) laowai:~ p5$ anaconda search -t conda menotexport
Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org
Run 'anaconda show <USER/PACKAGE>' to get more details:
Packages:
Name | Version | Package Types | Platforms
------------------------- | ------ | --------------- | ---------------
guangzhi/menotexport | 1.4.2 | conda | linux-64
Found 1 packages
(menotexport) laowai:~ p5$ conda install -c guangzhi menotexport
Fetching package metadata .............
PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: '' Package missing in current osx-64 channels:

You can search for packages on anaconda.org with
anaconda search -t conda menotexport
Hi,
Yes Miniconda will do most of Anaconda can provide. I'll put one line of note in the README.
Without anaconda or miniconda, you'll have to install all required packages one by one. Conda packaging is simpler as it only needs one line of command line code. But it will be more convenient of cause if you already are using conda. And lastly as I don't have a Mac so I can't provide an osx-64 conda package. If the export is only moderate, I agree it will probably easier to do it manually.
