CondaNSIS

CondaNSIS packages Python applications into self-extracting installers for Windows by leveraging both conda-pack and NSIS.

This project is inspired by PyNSIST.

Why?

Bundlers such as PyInstaller are great for small apps, but often have problems packaging complex projects with many dependencies. Alternativelly, deployment with Conda can be difficult as as it requires an Anaconda or a Miniconda installation.

CondaNSIS solves this problem by packaging your Python app together with a local and isolated Python environment, such that the target computer does not need neither Python nor a Conda already installed.

Installation

CondaNSIS is avaliable through conda-forge

conda install -c conda-forge condansis

Usage

Please see the documentation page. Due to limitations of the NSIS dependency, CondaNSIS does not run from Powershell.
