IGWN Conda Distribution¶

The IGWN Conda Distribution is a programme to manage and distribute software and environments used by the International Gravitational-Wave Observatory Network (IGWN) using the conda package manager, the conda-forge community, and the CernVM File System (CVMFS).

The distribution consists of a curated list of packages that are rendered into highly-specified software environment files that can then be downloaded and installed on most machines. For Linux, the environments are created and updated automatically and distributed globally using CVMFS.

What is Conda?¶

Conda is an open source package management system. It enables users of Windows, macOS, or Linux, to create, save, load, and switch between software environments on your computer.
