Hi=C2=A0G=C3=A1bor and=C2=A0Bj=C3=B6rn,
=

I was trying to install the new packages with the documentation mentioned= in the Outreachy site as below
https://www.gnu= .org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Defining-Packages.html

Here I see a code to define a package for '= Hello' and I assume in order to define a package for Anaconda I just ne= ed to change this code with source, url=C2=A0details of Anaconda something = like=C2=A0this as mentioned in the bold.

(define-module (gnu pack= ages Anaconda)
=C2=A0 #:use-module= (guix packages)

<= i>=C2=A0 #:use-module (gnu packages gawk))

(define-public An= aconda
=C2=A0 (package
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (name "Anaconda= ")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (version &qu= ot;3.10")

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (home-page "http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/")

Request you to guide me to get a better unders= tanding here as I saw one more page in this url, that uses some pull comman= ds to run some build etc.

Yes, that is correct. We usually recommend to add a package we have an
importer for. Anaconda could be a good candidate, if you wish to
package it, and I guess we have a lot of unpackaged dependencies of
anaconda.
Note that you have to package all the dependencies to package
something for guix. Packaging a single dependency would do for now.
Please see https://ww= w.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-import.html for
more information about importers. (For example R packages from CRAN or
bioconductor have a good quality importer)

>=C2=A0 Or should I proceed with creating video tutorials for the steps = I did until now ?

Not yet, we should leave that for later, if it is possible.
