Conda-build documentation

Conda-build contains commands and tools to build your own conda packages. It also provides helpful tools to constrain or pin versions in recipes. Building a conda package requires installing conda-build and creating a conda recipe. You then use the conda build command to build the conda package from the conda recipe.

You can build conda packages from a variety of source code projects, most notably Python. For help packing a Python project, see the packaging.python.org tutorial.

OPTIONAL: If you are planning to upload your packages to anaconda.org, you will need to make an anaconda.org account and install the Anaconda client.
