## Installing from conda-forge
Faiss is also being packaged by [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/), the
community-driven packaging ecosystem for conda. The packaging effort is
collaborating with the Faiss team to ensure high-quality package builds.
Due to the comprehensive infrastructure of conda-forge, it may even happen that
certain build combinations are supported in conda-forge that are not available
through the pytorch channel. To install, use
``` shell
# CPU version
$ conda install -c conda-forge faiss-cpu
# GPU version
$ conda install -c conda-forge faiss-gpu
# NVIDIA cuVS and AMD ROCm version not yet available
```
You can tell which channel your conda packages come from by using `conda list`.
If you are having problems using a package built by conda-forge, please raise
an [issue](https://github.com/conda-forge/faiss-split-feedstock/issues) on the
conda-forge package "feedstock".
# Building from source
Faiss can be built from source using CMake.
