Use 'conda install' instead of 'pip install' for setup.py packages

Question

I want to install fastai using setup.py in a project. The nicest way, if I have a conda environment, is to use the conda install command conda install -c pytorch -c fastai fastai. Unfortunately, if I just add fastai as a requirement, it gets installed using pip, which I have experienced issues with.

Simply, is there a way to install fastai using conda a setup.py file (using the conda install command)?

As far as I know, conda package manager does not understand setup.py. As a result, one cannot install packages from setup.py with conda.

However, we can install libraries using conda with a .yml file. Typically, this is used to copy a conda environment across machines. More information about creating environment file and using it.
