Use conda-forge channel #5

If possible. Usually they are more up-to-date.

:+1: what do you think about the mix of conda & pip, i was preferring conda and falling back to pip. Is that the general preference do you think?

ahartikainen commented 6 years ago

That is the strategy I generally use.

If package needs compiling / 3rd party stuff, it's included with conda package.

Also, be careful not to mix conda packages from the default channel and conda-forge. It's best to use conda-forge for everything, including Python itself.

I think this is addressed in https://github.com/softwareunderground/geo-docker/pull/10 at least i have added the channel and reading the conda docs it seem that this will be the highest prioroty channel.
