Welcome to boa’s documentation!

Boa is a package build tool for .conda packages. As such, it is an alternative to conda-build, but uses the more recently developed mamba package installer as a “backend”. Additionally, boa implements a new and improved recipe spec, and also implements a conda mambabuild ... command to build “legacy” recipes with the faster mamba backend. This can help when debugging recipes, as the output of the mamba solver is often more readable than the one from conda.
