Installing these tools can be challenging at times, + especially for new users. The conda-forge packaging infrastructure system and package registry allows for distribution of complex binaries across multiple + platforms though the Conda package management ecosystem. As ROOT and the PYTHIA8 library with Python bindings have been successfully packaged and distributed + on conda-forge it should be possible to package all the components of the HEP simulation stack and distribute them on conda-forge. Packaging these + components will allow them to have the ability to not only be installed as individual tools, but also be installed together in a coherent package environment. + +contacts: + - name: Matthew Feickert + email: Matthew.Feickert@cern.ch + +mentees: + - name: Lev Pambuk + link: https://iris-hep.org/fellows/Kwaizer.html \ No newline at end of file
