Request to Add GLiNER to Conda-Forge

[sdhdez]

Hi Urchade,

First of all, thank you for developing and maintaining the GLiNER package. It has been incredibly useful for our projects, and I’m sure many others feel the same way.

I am writing to request that you consider adding GLiNER to the conda-forge repository. Here are a few reasons why this would be beneficial:

• Ease of Installation: Conda is a widely used package manager, especially in the scientific and data science communities. Having GLiNER available on conda-forge would simplify the installation process for many users, eliminating the need for manual dependency management.
• Wider Reach: By adding GLiNER to conda-forge, you can reach a broader audience. Many users prefer or are required to use conda environments, and having GLiNER readily available would make it more accessible to them.
• Consistency and Compatibility: Conda-forge ensures that packages are built in a consistent environment, which can help avoid compatibility issues. This would make it easier for users to integrate GLiNER into their existing workflows without encountering unexpected problems.
• Community Support: Being part of conda-forge means that the package can benefit from the community’s support in terms of maintenance and updates. This can help ensure that GLiNER remains up-to-date with the latest dependencies and best practices.

I believe that adding GLiNER to conda-forge would greatly enhance its usability and adoption. If you need any assistance with the process, I would be more than happy to help.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards,

Simon
