Conda License Lint: Anaconda defaults channel

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/conda-channel-license-lint on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Finds every environment.yml and .condarc line that pulls from Anaconda's licensed repository

Install

conda-channel-license-lint file

Node 18+. The same 8 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Flags every Anaconda paid-channel line in the open environment.yml or .condarc and shows the conda-forge fix, no key.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Scans every environment file and .condarc in the workspace at once and exports one licence-audit report you keep.
