User guide#

Welcome to the conda-build user guide. Here you can find tutorials and recipes as well as information about environment variables and wheel files.

Tutorials#

The tutorials will guide you through how to build conda packages — whether you're creating a package with compilers, using conda skeleton, creating from scratch, or building R packages using skeleton CRAN.

Recipes#

Conda-build uses recipes to create conda packages. We have guides on debugging conda recipes, sample recipes for you to use, and information on how to build a package without a recipe.

Environment variables#

Use our environment variables guide to understand which environment variables are available, set, and inherited, and how they affect different processes.

Wheel files#

The user guide includes information about wheel files and how to build conda packages from them.
