Conda build and deployment tools

The recipes exploring packaging with Conda will need Miniconda and the Conda build and deployment tools installed on the system. The instructions for the installation of Miniconda were given previously. To install Conda build and deployment tools on GNU/Linux and macOS, run the following commands:

$ conda install --yes --quiet conda-build anaconda-client jinja2 setuptools
$ conda clean -tipsy
$ conda info -a

These tools can be installed on Windows as follows:

$conda_path = "C:\Deps\conda\Scripts\conda.exe"

$args = "install --yes --quiet conda-build anaconda-client jinja2 setuptools"
Start-Process -FilePath "$conda_path" -ArgumentList $args -Wait -Passthru

$args = "clean -tipsy"
Start-Process -FilePath "$conda_path" -ArgumentList $args -Wait -Passthru

$args = "info -a"
Start-Process -FilePath "$conda_path" -ArgumentList $args -Wait -Passthru
