Different NK2 version when installing with conda or pip

[HTalNachmani]

Hi,

Reporting here in case anyone finds this useful - I am not sure whether I might be doing something wrong/whether this was a deliberate choice/conda just takes longer to update the versions.

However, I wanted to highlight that the neurokit2 versions I get when using pip or conda are different:

• Pip install neurokit2: version 0.2.12 (latest at the time of writing this)
• conda install -c conda-forge neurokit2: version 0.2.10
• conda install conda-forge::neurokit2: version 0.2.10
• conda config --add channels conda-forge --> conda install neurokit2: version 0.2.10

In short, any conda installation gets me the version-before-last. Note that all these commands were tried in the same conda environment at different times (in early December 2025 and late January 2026) yet with the same setup.

Thanks for this great package :)

Hi HTalNachmani, thank you for bringing this up and you kindness. I don't personally use conda myself, but the conda-forge package is being hosted and maintained in a different repository, specifically here: https://github.com/conda-forge/neurokit2-feedstock

You can see that there is an active pull request from the bot, but it does not seem to have been merged yet: conda-forge/neurokit2-feedstock#25 .

You are right though, since we have it written as an option for installation, we should probably keep the conda-forge up to date there. I will see if I can help them out there.

For now, please stick to the pip install method for the latest version :-)
