Why do I need Many scientific packages require a specific version of Python to run. It’s difficult to keep
Anaconda Distribution? various Python installations on one computer from interacting and breaking, and harder
to keep them up-to-date. Anaconda Distribution makes management of multiple Python
versions on one computer easier, and provides a large collection of highly optimized,
commonly used data science libraries to get you started faster.
What is An easy-to-install collection of high performance Python libraries along with Conda, our
Anaconda Distribution? tool for managing packages and environments. Beyond the collection of open source
packages in the Anaconda installer, you can use Conda to install over 1.5k packages
(including the R language) from the Anaconda public repository and more than 20k
packages from community channels, such as Conda-forge and bioconda.
What is Miniconda? Miniconda is Conda and its dependencies. With Miniconda, you can build your
environments from scratch by installing only the packages needed to run the Conda
command. It’s a much smaller installer, typically used with an active internet connection.
conda install PACKAGENAME
Example: conda install anaconda-navigator
DOWNLOADING
Will it work on Anaconda Distribution is available for Windows 7 and newer, macOS 10.10 and newer,
my machine? or any Linux distribution with a glibc version greater than 2.12 (CentOS 6). Anaconda
requires 3GB of free hard drive space, while Miniconda needs only 400 MB.

BEFORE STARTING
What is A graphical interface for launching common Python programs without having to use
Anaconda Navigator? command lines. It can also be used to install packages and manage your environments.
DOWNLOADING
Will it work on Anaconda Navigator is available for Windows, macOS or Linux. Navigator is automatically
my machine? installed with Anaconda Distribution.
Open On Windows, the installer will create a Start menu shortcut for Navigator. On macOS, if using
Anaconda Navigator the GUI (.pkg) installer, you’ll get an icon for Navigator in Launchpad. On Linux or macOS
installed via .sh installer, open a terminal and enter this command:
anaconda-navigator
