Build the Conda Package

Now that you've got the dependent packages defined in your Conda recipe you're ready to build the package.

The complete mortgage_forecasts Conda package has been loaded into your home directory. Included in the meta.yaml file is the recommended install command for Python-only Conda packages:

build:
    script: python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=record.txt

If the script: tag is not present in the meta.yaml file then conda build will expect the installation commands to be in a file called build.sh on Mac and Linux, or in build.bat on Windows.

1
Run conda build <package-name> with the name of your package.
2
Now that we have the archive let's verify the metadata using conda search.

Run conda search --use-local --info <package-name> using the name of your package. --use-local instructs Conda to search for packages that were built locally. Remember to replace <package-name>.
