Install conda default_packages through pip

Question

I have Miniforge installed on my computer.

Here is the part of my global .condarc configuration file that is of interest:

create_default_packages:
  - <some_package>

I would like to know if there is a way to force conda to perform the installation of my default package <some_package> using pip or through a channel / URL of my choice (e.g https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages), but for that package only.

Answer 1

No, such functionality is not possible with any standard options. You could try filing a feature request.
