View All TagsDeveloper Guide: A Tale of Five Prefixes
In the realm of package management and environment configuration, conda
has
emerged as a versatile tool empowering developers with environment management. A
pivotal aspect of conda
's architecture lies in its prefix system, which
underwent a significant evolution over its previous versions, transforming conda
from a
simple package manager into a sprawling environment manager. In this technical
discourse, we delve into the intricacies of conda
's prefix system, shedding
light on its evolution and the five distinct prefixes delineated within the
conda
source code.

Conda is moving to Mastodon & LinkedIn
Conda is moving our social media presence from Twitter/X to Mastodon and LinkedIn at the start of 2024. It's past time to move into spaces that are welcoming and more in line with our community values.
Going forward, you can find us at
- @conda@fosstodon.org on Mastodon
- Conda Community on LinkedIn
If you are on either platform then please follow and link to those accounts, or, just use the #conda
hashtag.
We won't close the Twitter account. We will update it to say it is no longer active, and point users to the conda communities on Mastodon and LinkedIn. If you are active on Twitter, we encourage you to also use the #conda
hashtag.
We hope to see you on Mastodon and LinkedIn in 2024!
PS: conda-forge is discussing making the same move.
