STEP 1: Install the anaconda-client and conda-build into your virtual environment.

(venv)$ conda install anaconda-client conda-build

Suppose your directory structure looks like the following.

(venv)$ tree mypackage

mypackage
├── README.md
├── example
│   └── test.ipynb
├── setup.py
└── mypackage
    ├── __init__.py
    └── myfile.py

STEP 2: To package this code into a conda package make a directory in the root repository mkdir conda-recipe. Add a file to this directory called meta.yaml. Your directory structure should now look like

(venv)$ tree mypackage

mypackage
├── README.md
├── conda-recipe
│   └── meta.yaml
├── example
│   └── test.ipynb
├── setup.py
└── mypackage
    ├── __init__.py
    └── myfile.py

Here is an example of what a meta.yaml file looks like.

# meta.yaml file
package:
  name: mypackage
  version: 0.1.0

source:
  git_url: https://github.com/path/to/repo.git
  git_rev: main # or some other branch of the repo
# alternatively, you can build from local directory using
# path: ../

build:
  script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv

requirements:
  build:
    - pip
    - setuptools
    - python
    - git
  run:
    - numpy
    - scipy

The build and run requirements indicate the packages required for building and running the package, respectively. The script tells us the command that will be run to build the package.

STEP 3: Navigate to the root directory and run:

(venv)$ conda build .

If successful, the console should print information about the location of the compressed package ready for upload.

STEP 4: To upload it to your anaconda channel, run:

anaconda upload /path/to/the/package/mypackage-0.1.0-0.tar.bz2

STEP 5: To install this package, run:

(venv)$ conda install my-channel-name::mypackage
