Combining Conda + Pip for Machine Learning and AI
Best practices for installing and managing packages
Conda, our cross-platform environment and package manager, can be used to install most machine learning, AI, and deep learning software in a consistent and reliable manner. But occasionally, software is not yet available as a conda package but is available on PyPI. In these cases, conda can be combined with pip.
Getting conda to cooperate with pip often can be a challenge, however. In this Anaconda webinar, Software Engineer Jonathan Helmus will discuss common pitfalls that occur when these tools are used together and recommend best practices to avoid these problems.
