magic add​

Adds dependencies to the project

The dependencies should be defined as MatchSpec for conda package, or a PyPI requirement for the --pypi dependencies. If no specific version is provided, the latest version compatible with your project will be chosen automatically or a * will be used.

Example usage:

  • magic add python=3.9: This will select the latest minor version that complies with 3.9.*, i.e., python version 3.9.0, 3.9.1, 3.9.2, etc.
  • magic add python: In absence of a specified version, the latest version will be chosen. For instance, this could resolve to python version 3.11.3.* at the time of writing.

Adding multiple dependencies at once is also supported:

  • magic add python pytest: This will add both python and pytest to the project's dependencies.

The --platform and --build/--host flags make the dependency target specific.

  • magic add python --platform linux-64 --platform osx-arm64: Will add the latest version of python for linux-64 and osx-arm64 platforms.
  • magic add python --build: Will add the latest version of python for as a build dependency.

Mixing --platform and --build/--host flags is supported

The --pypi option will add the package as a pypi dependency. This can not be mixed with the conda dependencies

  • magic add --pypi boto3
  • `magic add --pypi "boto3==version"

If the project manifest is a pyproject.toml, adding a pypi dependency will add it to the native pyproject project.dependencies array or to the native project.optional-dependencies table if a feature is specified:

  • magic add --pypi boto3 will add boto3 to the project.dependencies array
  • magic add --pypi boto3 --feature aws will add boto3 to the project.dependencies.aws array These dependencies will then be read by magic as if they had been added to the magic pypi-dependencies tables of the default or of a named feature.
