Anaconda (package manager) alternatives: Home

Recently, Anaconda announced that it will start charging for its services. This announcement alarmed a large part of the research community because they use Anaconda as a package manager for Python and other coding languages and software. 

If you are being affected by this, the good news is that there are still some alternatives to Anaconda that you can (still) use:

• Miniforge: is still under Anaconda's but without accidental licence's violations, this might be a temporary fix if Anaconda decides to shut it down.
• Mamba: A newer cross-platform package manager that claims to be faster than Conda.
• Python-Poetry: A simple and efficient python dependency and package manager.
