Packages and channels

Creating a package is more advanced than creating an Anaconda Project.

Channels are the specific locations where packages are stored.

Packages are the raw materials you use to an create Anaconda Project. Each package contains an archive of files and information about the package, including its name, version, description, and its dependencies.

After downloading the Anaconda command line interface (CLI), you will create a channel. Then you can upload packages to the channel.

Before you start

You should be familiar with using a CLI and the conda package manager.
