Configuring channels and mirrors

Data Science & AI Workbench facilitates software distribution through the strategic use of channels and mirrors. Channels represent locations in repositories where Workbench uses conda to look for packages. As an administrator, you can populate a channel with packages from an external repository location by creating a mirror.

Note

Workbench supports the use of both conda and pip packages in its internal repository.
