Installers

conda-dist installer <manifest> produces a native self-extracting installer for each target platform.

Usage Example

conda-dist installer app.toml
./app-linux-64 /opt/app
/opt/app/bin/python --version

The command caches downloads and writes one native installer executable per platform (defaulting to <name>-<platform> in the manifest directory). Each installer unpacks the bundled environment into the installation path you provide, with no external runtime requirements.

Characteristics

• Output: Native executable archive, one per target platform.
• Installation prefix: User-supplied path, installable anywhere.
• Runtime dependencies: None required on the target host.
• Reproducibility: Bundles the locked package set used at build time.
• Transport: Compressed payload suitable for artifact stores or offline delivery.
