+# Morpheus Conda Packages
+The Morpheus stages are the building blocks for creating pipelines. The stages are organized into libraries by use case. The current libraries are:
+- morpheus-core
+- morpheus-dfp
+- morpheus-llm
+
+The  libraries are hosted as conda packages on the [nvidia](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/) channel.
+
+The split into multiple libraries allows for a more modular approach to using the Morpheus stages. For example, if you are building an application for Digital Finger Printing, you can install just the `morpheus-dfp` library. This reduces the size of the installed package. It also limits the dependencies eliminating unnecessary version conflicts.
+
+
+## Morpheus Core
+The `morpheus-core` library contains the core stages that are common across all use cases. The Morpheus core library is built from the source code in the `python/morpheus` directory of the Morpheus repository. The core library is installed as a dependency when you install any of the other Morpheus libraries.
+To set up a conda environment with the [morpheus-core](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/morpheus-core) library you can run the following commands:
+### Create or use an existing conda environment
+```bash
+export CONDA_ENV_NAME=morpheus
+conda create -n $CONDA_ENV_NAME python=3.10
+conda activate $CONDA_ENV_NAME
+```
+### Add the anaconda channels required for the morpheus-core dependencies
+```bash
+conda config --env --add channels conda-forge &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels nvidia &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels rapidsai &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels pytorch
+```
+### Install the morpheus-core library
+```bash
+conda install -c nvidia morpheus-core
+```
+The `morpheus-core` conda package installs the `morpheus` python package. It also pulls down all the necessary conda runtime dependencies for the core stages including [mrc](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/mrc) and [libmrc](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/libmrc).
+### Install the additional pypi dependencies for morpheus-core
+Some of the stages in the core library require additional dependencies that are hosted on Pypi. These dependencies are included as a requirements file in the morpheus python package. The requirements files can be located and installed by running the following command:
+```bash
+python3 <<EOF
+import importlib.resources
+import subprocess
+requirements_file = importlib.resources.path("morpheus", "requirements_morpheus_core.txt")
+subprocess.call(f"pip install -r {requirements_file}".split())
+EOF
+```
+
+## Morpheus DFP
+Digital Finger Printing (DFP) is a technique used to identify anomalous behavior and uncover potential threats in the environment​. The `morpheus-dfp` library contains stages for DFP. It is built from the source code in the `python/morpheus_dfp` directory of the Morpheus repository. To set up a conda environment with the [morpheus-dfp](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/morpheus-dfp) library you can run the following commands:
+### Create or use an existing conda environment
+```bash
+export CONDA_ENV_NAME=morpheus-dfp
+conda create -n $CONDA_ENV_NAME python=3.10
+conda activate $CONDA_ENV_NAME
+```
+### Add the anaconda channels required for the morpheus-dfp dependencies
+```bash
+conda config --env --add channels conda-forge &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels nvidia &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels rapidsai &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels pytorch
+```
+### Install the morpheus-dfp library
+```bash
+conda install -c nvidia morpheus-dfp
+```
+The `morpheus-dfp` conda package installs the `morpheus_dfp` python package. It also pulls down all the necessary conda runtime dependencies including [morpheus-core](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/morpheus-core).
+### Install the additional pypi dependencies for morpheus-dfp
+Some of the DFP stages in the library require additional dependencies that are hosted on Pypi. These dependencies are included as a requirements file in the morpheus_dfp python package. And can be installed by running the following command:
+```bash
+python3 <<EOF
+import importlib.resources
+import subprocess
+requirements_file = importlib.resources.path("morpheus_dfp", "requirements_morpheus_dfp.txt")
+subprocess.call(f"pip install -r {requirements_file}".split())
+EOF
+```
+
+## Morpheus LLM
+The `morpheus-llm` library contains stages for Large Language Models (LLM) and  Vector Databases. These stages are used for setting up Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. The `morpheus-llm` library is built from the source code in the `python/morpheus_llm` directory of the Morpheus repository.
+To set up a conda environment with the [morpheus-llm](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/morpheus-dfp) library you can run the following commands:
+### Create or use an existing conda environment
+```bash
+export CONDA_ENV_NAME=morpheus-llm
+conda create -n $CONDA_ENV_NAME python=3.10
+conda activate $CONDA_ENV_NAME
+```
+### Add the anaconda channels required for the morpheus-llm dependencies
+```bash
+conda config --env --add channels conda-forge &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels nvidia &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels rapidsai &&\
+  conda config --env --add channels pytorch
+```
+### Install the morpheus-llm library
+```bash
+conda install -c nvidia morpheus-llm
+```
+The `morpheus-llm` conda package installs the morpheus_dfp python package. It also pulls down all the necessary conda packages including [morpheus-core](https://anaconda.org/nvidia/morpheus-core).
+### Install the additional pypi dependencies for morpheus-llm
+Some of the stages in the library require additional dependencies that are hosted on Pypi. These dependencies are included as a requirements file in the morpheus_dfp python package. And can be installed by running the following command:
+```bash
+python3 <<EOF
+import importlib.resources
+import subprocess
+requirements_file = importlib.resources.path("morpheus_llm", "requirements_morpheus_llm.txt")
+subprocess.call(f"pip install -r {requirements_file}".split())
+EOF
+```
+
+## Morpheus Examples
+The Morpheus examples are not included in the Morpheus conda packages. To use them you need to clone the Morpheus repository and run the examples form source.
+
+## Namespace updates
+If were using a morpheus release prior to 24.10 you may need to update the namespace for dfp, llm and vector database stages.
+
+A script, `scripts/morpheus_namespace_update.py`, has been provide to help with that and can be run as follows:
+```bash
+python scripts/morpheus_namespace_update.py --directory <directory> --dfp
+```
+```bash
+python scripts/morpheus_namespace_update.py --directory <directory> --llm
+```
