Conda: a cross-platform, python-agnostic binary package manager.
summary
Claims a cross‑platform binary package manager that installs Python itself and creates isolated environments; Mini Conda is a ~30 MB mini Conda installer that requires no root privileges. Example: fetching and building 13 scientific packages with pip plus system libs takes tens of minutes and repeated failures, while conda creates an environment with most binaries in ~90 seconds for 13 packages (excluding downloads). Packages are tarballs with metadata, use hard links across envs, and conda can export reproducible manifests.
