Packaging

First: Change the version number

An easy way to do this in VS Code is to replace the current version number (which you can deduce from the current release) by replacing the version number globally with your desired new value. If there are any now undesired additions such as beta, rc1 etc. you should remove them now.

Prerequisites

conda install conda-build
conda install anaconda-client
conda install constructor

Create and upload a conda package

You have to create a noarch package for all systems except Windows and a win64 package for Windows. Otherwise, without a specific win64 package, the Windows .exe installer won't work.

conda config --add channels IBMDecisionOptimization
conda config --add channels Gurobi
conda config --add channels conda-forge

cd recipes/noarch
conda-build . -c conda-forge -c cnapy
anaconda login
anaconda upload -u cnapy FILENAME

cd ..
cd win
conda-build . -c conda-forge -c cnapy
anaconda login
anaconda upload -u cnapy FILENAME

Create a windows installer with constructor

cd constructor/win
constructor .
