Quick install
Getting started with Anaconda
Take the Conda test drive
Many scientific packages require a specific version of Python to run. It’s dicult to keep
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.
An easy-to-install collection of high performance Python libraries along with Conda, our
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.
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
