# Frequently asked questions

## What is conda-forge?

Conda-forge is a community-led GitHub organization that provides access to thousands of conda package recipes. All of these recipes are open source and can be installed with the conda package manager by specifying conda-forge as the channel.

## What is a feedstock?

A feedstock is a conda package repository.

## How can I search for packages?

There are many ways to search for packages, either in your browser or in the command line. Many package organizations keep lists of their packages on their websites, so you can either use a search engine or go directly to package organization websites like [conda-forge.org](conda-forge.org) and [bioconda.github.io](bioconda.github.io). Anaconda also provides package hosting on [anaconda.org](anaconda.org).
