+Conda
+-----
+
+We provide experimental support for conda packages. Thus if you installed [Anaconda](http://continuum.io/downloads)
+you can try:
+```
+conda install -c https://binstar.org/twiecki zipline
+```
+
+Currently this only works for linux 64 bit. If you want to help extend this,
+have a look at the `conda` subdirectory.

+conda build files
+=================
+
+[conda](http://docs.continuum.io/conda/intro.html) is a
+Python package management system by Continuum that provides
+easy installation of binary packages.
+
+The files in this directory provide instructions for how
+to create these binary packages. After installing conda and
+conda-build you should be able to:
+
+```
+conda build ta-lib
+conda build logbook
+conda build zipline
+```
+
+You can then upload these binary packages to your own
+channel at [binstar](https://binstar.org).
+
+Note that we currently don't have binary packages for
+some platforms so if you successfully build them on anything
+we don't provide at [https://binstar.org/twiecki](https://binstar.org/twiecki)
+please let us know (especially windows).
