使用Anaconda安装github版本的软件包

Question

I have Sympy installed with Anaconda , my version (of Sympy) is 0.7.6 .

I want to be able to use the git version of Sympy. Do you know how can I tell to Anaconda to substitute the 2 versions ?

I've tried using the git clone command, but the Sympy folder from git and Anaconda doesn't look the same at all, so I can't replace one with another.

git clone git://github.com/sympy/sympy.git

Is there a command like : "conda update-git sympy" ?

I found that answer, but I didn't understand how to do it.

Possible to do "conda build" from github branch?

UPDATE : I've used the following command and it worked

python setup.py develop

in my sympy directory.

Thanks to @asmeurer

Answer 1

my previous answer was based on long time ago experiance this is the correct proccess (that worked for me based on the latest anaconda on a windows machine)

I have updated the meta.yaml only with the following changes: changing to get the source from git including mpmath in build run and test removing some libraries of sympy that seemed to have been removed from the latest version

i have all the files in the following gist https://gist.github.com/srgrn/622cf61b03b7321503cc

hope it helps

Answer 2

you can try the following:

1. download the conda recipes ( https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes )
2. update the meta.yaml for getting the source from github as explained in the stack overflow question you linked to.
3. run conda build.
