Hello!  
Very basic question - is there an official way to install huggingface using conda or does anybody have any insight into whether this is on the to-do list?  
Thanks!

Not yet but should be possible in the mid-term. The main limitation right now is that SentencePiece doesn’t like conda but @anthony is working on getting SentencePiece support in our `tokenizers` library should we should be able to have a conda install as well when this is finished (might still take a little bit of time though, it’s a big chunk of work)

Thanks for the heads up! Are there any official Huggingface-issued containers?
