How to build Anaconda and Pip package

Anaconda Package

To build the package, it is necessary to have anaconda installed. The files needed to build the package are located in the recipe folder.

Theacpype script is located in thescript folder so that your path can be found by the entry_points of setup_conda.py.

After acpype script modifications, it is necessary to replace the version: field in the meta.yaml files and version = in the setup_conda.py file.

In setup_conda.py you can change the classifiers if, for example, the python version is changed.

To create the tar.bz2 file it is necessary to be in the same directory where the acpype folder is located. The command

conda build –c acpype acpype

build the package. The package will be available in the anaconda3/conda-bld/Linux-64 folder (if using the Linux platform). Conversions to another platform can be done using the command:

conda convert –platform osx-64 acpype-xxxx.xx.xx.xx-py37_0.tar.bz2

(To convert to 64-bit OSX)

conda convert –platform linux-64 acpype-xxxx.xx.xx.xx-py37_0.tar.bz2

(To convert to 64-bit Linux)

To upload to the Anaconda Cloud server:

Use the anaconda login command to connect to the server;

Enter credentials;

Use the anaconda upload command to send to the server:

anaconda upload ~/linux-64/acpype-xxxx.xx.xx.xx-py37_0.tar.bz2

anaconda upload ~/osx-64/acpype-xxxx.xx.xx.xx-py37_0.tar.bz2

Pip Package

To update the pip package, it is only necessary to modify the __updated__ = field with the latest version of the acpype.py script.

When typing the command

pip install git+https://github.com/alanwilter/acpype.git

the WHL file is automatically built into a temporary folder and then installed.
