I suggest leaving packaging this for later. I assume we are talking about this package here: https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/anaconda-project > (define-module (gnu packages Anaconda) I believe we already have a module where this would fit, so please look around in gnu/packages for filenames where you could add this. > #:use-module (guix packages) > #:use-module (guix download) > #:use-module (guix build-system Anaconda) There is no such build system, most probably you will need python-build-system here. > #:use-module (guix licenses) > #:use-module (gnu packages gawk)) > I don't think you will need gawk here... > (define-public Anaconda I believe 'anaconda' would be better. > (package > (name "Anaconda") Also here. > (version "3.10") > (source (origin > (method url-fetch) > (uri (string-append "Anaconda's Website URL" version > ".tar.gz")) Most probably you should fetch from some python package repository. > (sha256 > (base32 > "0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i")))) > (build-system gnu-build-system) Also python-build-system here. > (arguments '(#:configure-flags '("--enable-silent-rules"))) > (inputs `(("gawk" ,gawk))) These well need adjustment, as needed for the given package. > (synopsis "Hello, GNU world: An example GNU package") > (description "Guess what GNU Hello prints!") > (home-page "http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/";) > (license gpl3+))) > > Request you to guide me to get a better understanding here as I saw one more > page in this url, that uses some pull commands to run some build etc. > https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-pull.html#Invoking-guix-pull > > Thanks, > Lakshmi Prasannakumar > Bangalore > With all that said, what I recommend is to try either: 1. use guix import to get the metadata for this package, if it is available in pypi. 2. use guix import to generate a definition for some package from the cran repository instead. (These are easy to package, the importer does most of the job). I would try #2 first, as it is a good way to get a contribution fast. Best regards, g_bor
