document conda-forge install option #862

Closed akrherz closed 6 months ago

I've gotten boxsdk added to conda-forge as conda-forge/boxsdk-feedstock. Perhaps this install option could be documented here?

conda install -c conda-forge boxsdk

Please let me know if anybody here would like to be added as a maintainer to that feedstock. I am happy to keep it going regardless :)

Hi @akrherz ,

Thank you for making a new distribution option. Unfortunately, we can't include your source, since we don't control it and can't guarantee the source for our customers.

For your information, we also have a new version of python SDK which will replace the current one. You can take a look at it here https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk-gen and, perhaps, you might want to consider using the new SDK as well.

Thanks @mgrytsai for the response. Some followups.

  1. I've created a box-sdk-gen-feedstock now. So box-sdk-gen can now be installed via conda-forge.
  2. Anybody with a github account can sign up to help maintain the feedstock, so you folks could still have 'control' over this build. I understand resources are thin, etc. I'm happy to maintain both repos going forward.
  3. From my perspective, conda-forge is a very significant player in the python packaging landscape. On windows for example, it is a much better experience and more likely to work than pypi...

I totally understand what you are saying, so no worries. Thanks!

Thank you! Good to know it for the future.
