![Build radioconda](https://github.com/ryanvolz/radioconda/actions/workflows/build_radioconda.yml/badge.svg)
This repository holds cross-platform installers for a collection of **software radio** packages bundled with the [conda](https://conda.io/) package manager. These installers will get you started with an environment that includes the packages listed [here](https://github.com/ryanvolz/radioconda/blob/master/radioconda.yaml). Once installed, you will have a fully functional conda distribution, meaning that you can install additional packages (if available through [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/feedstock-outputs)) or upgrade to the latest versions using `conda` or `mamba`, e.g.:
