Conda (package manager)
Conda is an open source,cross-platform, language-agnosticpackage manager and environment management system that installs, runs, and updates packages and their dependencies. Conda allows users to easily
install different versions of binary software packages and any required libraries appropriate for their computing platform
switch between package versions
download and install updates from a software repository.
Conda is written in the Python programming language, but can manage projects containing code written in other languages (e.g., R), including multi-language projects. Conda can install the Python programming language, while similar Python-based cross-platform package managers (such wheel or pip) cannot.
Continuum Analytics maintains Conda (among other open source tools), which it releases under the Berkeley Software Distribution License.
Conda is known to have achieved funding and support from DARPA.
