What is conda-forge?
--------------------

Conda-forge is a community effort that provides conda packages for a wide range of software.
Conda-forge is a GitHub organization containing a collection of recipes, build infrastructure and distributions for the conda package manager.

**Missing a package that you would love to install with conda?** - Chances are we have already packaged it for you!
Modern applications use a large number of libraries. Since the pace of development is expediting, traditional platform package vendors fall short in keeping up with it.

Conda-forge is the one stop shop for all the packages you may care about.

You can `search <https://anaconda.org/>`__ for packages online. Look out for packages provided by our ``conda-forge`` organization.
**Missing a package that you would love to install with conda?** - Chances are we have already packaged it for you!

**Cannot find a package or only outdated versions of a package?** - Everybody is welcome to contribute to our package stack! Please refer to :ref:`becoming_involved`, for an overview on how to start contributing.
