## Install isolated applications using conda

`conda-app` is a tiny `conda` extension (actually a commandline tool using `conda` or
`mamba`) to install applications in isolated environments. Like
[pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx) but with conda environments.

The main advantages are:

- very simple **cross-platform** installation commands for Windows, macOS and Linux (and
different shells, as bash, fish and zsh).

- the applications are installed in **isolated** environments.

- commands provided by the applications are **available system-wide**, i.e. even when the
associated conda environment is not activated.

- Installation from the `conda-forge` channel so there is **no need for compilation**.

### Installation of conda-app

```bash
pip install conda-app
```

### Example of Mercurial

Mercurial and common extensions (`hg-git` and `hg-evolve`) can be installed with:

```bash
conda-app install mercurial
```

Then, in **a new terminal** (on Windows, the "Conda Prompt"), the Mercurial command `hg`
should be available so one can try `hg version -v`.

This should also work:

```raw
$ conda-app list
Installed applications:
['mercurial', 'spyder', 'pandoc']

$ conda-app uninstall pandoc
...
```
