Creating a package for conda cam be done with something like the following

Prepare build environment by installing anaconda/miniconda and activating base. Then install conda-build and conda-verify

conda install conda-build conda-verify

According to the doc conda-build and conda-verify should be installed in base https://conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/install-conda-build.html#install-conda-build

We can use https://github.com/conda/grayskull to generate a meta.yml file from an sdist package, which we can create with

git clone git@github.com:daisy-model/tools.git
cd tools
python3 -m build .

Next we create the recipe

conda create --name build
conda activate build
conda install conda-forge::grayskull 
mkdir conda-recipe
cd conda-recipe
grayskull pypi ../dist/daisy_tools-0.0.1.tar.gz

This should create daisy_tools/meta.yml in the conda-recipe dir.

Now we can use conda build to create the package. We need to include the conda-forge channel for dependencies

conda build daisy_tools -c conda-forge

If this fails with something about prefix length, it could be because the homedir is encrypted. In that case create a build directory outside the home dir, e.g

mkdir /home/conda-builds
chown <user>: /home/conda-builds 
conda build daisy_tools -c conda-forge --croot /home/conda-builds
