title: Adding Additional packages to Anaconda Installer
body: <p>I am curious to know if there are methods where I can add additional packages to the anaconda installer. I am basically looking for a solution for creating an anaconda installer which has some extra python packages added along with it. Thus the participants to whom I give the installer need not be worrying about Internet connectivity or to add additional commands.</p>
  
  <p>This is meant for an introductory hands-on python session. Hence the objective is to make the whole installation process less confusing as possible to the participants of the session.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of using docker as well as using environments. I am looking for something more simpler, say as seamless as anaconda installation for my participants.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I am thinking of doing the following.</p>
  
  <p>1) Provide the <code>.tar.gz</code> file of the packages along with the installer</p>
  
  <p>2) After installation and creating environments, install the libraries using <code>pip</code> from the <code>.tar.gz</code>
  <code>python -m pip install c:\mymodule\great.tar.gz</code></p>
  
  <p>Any method which is simpler than the above one is welcome.</p>
