Description

As installing apex with conda works really easy, it would be nice if also the extensions could be installed over conda in a similar manner as installing them via pip: --cuda_ext --cpp_ext

Is there any way to achieve that right now or plans to support this?

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing pip installation path for the --cuda_ext and --cpp_ext options with the current Conda package setup. Determine whether Conda can provide equivalent extension installation, and document or implement the supported behavior once the packaging approach is clear.
