In order to access private channels via third-party tools (such as pip, Twine, or R), you must have a user token. This can be done through the conda repo tool or by creating channel-specific, read-only/read-write tokens via UI.

​
Python packages

​
Uploading

Twine is a popular tool for uploading Python packages to PyPI-like repositories. Run the following command to upload Python packages: 
twine upload --repository-url http://<DOMAIN>/api/repo/<CHANNEL>
<PACKAGE> -u <TOKEN> -p x-auth-token
Example If the token is incorrect, you will receive a 401 error message. Please refer to the Twine package documentation to learn how to configure your username and password via the configuration file or environment variables.

​
Installing

Similar to pip, Anaconda Server supports user authentication using Basic Authentication. The following is the proper format for installing pip packages: 
pip install --trusted-host <DOMAIN> --index-url
http://<TOKEN>:x-auth-token@<DOMAIN>/api/repo/<CHANNEL>/simple <PACKAGE>
x-auth-token is not a placeholder, but is used as the actual password for Basic Authentication.
Example Make sure to add a trusted host. Please refer to the pip documentation to learn how to configure the index URL via the configuration file or environment variables.

​
R packages

​
Uploading

Since there is no standard tool for uploading R packages, you can use either the UI or API directly. Run the following command to upload R packages: 
curl -v -F filetype=cran_source_package -F content=@<FILENAME>
http://<DOMAIN>/api/repo/<CHANNEL> -H"X-Auth: <TOKEN>"
Where <TOKEN> is the x-auth-token. Example Please use cran_source_package for source packages and cran_binary_package for binary R packages.

​
Installing

You can use your domain as a repository URL in the install.packages function by injecting a token into the path: 
http://<DOMAIN>/api/repo/t/<TOKEN>/<CHANNEL>/cran
This may look something like the following: Example 
install.packages("abc", repos="http://demo-repo.com/api/t/46e98d3dbf2378bb26e2107867652ee734eb098ea5b96f35/repo/alex-pip/cran")
