InstallationВ¶
Review the system requirements listed below before installing Anaconda Individual Edition. If you don’t want the hundreds of packages included with Anaconda, you can install Miniconda, a mini version of Anaconda that includes just conda, its dependencies, and Python.
System requirements
On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Anaconda for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. However, if you need to, you can install Anaconda system wide, which does require administrator permissions.
Silent mode install
You can use silent mode to automatically accept default settings and have no screen prompts appear during installation.
Using Anaconda on older operating systems
We recommend upgrading your operating system. Most OS that are no longer supported in the latest Anaconda are no longer getting security updates. Upgrading your OS allows you to get the latest packages, performance improvements, bug fixes, etc.
To use Anaconda on older operating systems, download from our archive. You will not be able to use conda to update or install packages beyond the Anaconda version noted in the table below, unless you limit it to versions available at the time that particular version of Anaconda was released. You can see what was available by checking the package table archives.
Operating system | How to install Anaconda |
---|---|
macOS 10.10-10.12; Windows 7 | Use the command line or graphical installers for Anaconda versions 2019.10 and earlier. Download from our archive. |
macOS 10.9 | |
macOS 10.7 and 10.8 | Use the command line installers for Anaconda versions 4.2 and earlier. |
macOS 10.5 and 10.6 | Use the command line installers for Anaconda versions 1.8 and earlier. |
Windows XP | Use Anaconda versions 2.2 and earlier. |
Centos5 (or equivalent) | Use Anaconda versions 4.3 and earlier. |
Installing Anaconda on a non-networked machine (air gap)
You can install offline copies of both docs.anaconda.com and enterprise-docs.anaconda.com by installing the conda package anaconda-docs: conda install anaconda-docs
You can install offline copies of documentation for many of Anaconda’s open-source packages by installing the conda package anaconda-oss-docs: conda install anaconda-oss-docs
Other ways to get Anaconda or Miniconda
You can find the official Anaconda or Miniconda AMIs on the AWS Marketplace.
You can find the official Anaconda and Miniconda Docker images on Docker Hub.
If you have a CDH cluster, you can install the Anaconda parcel using Cloudera Manager. The Anaconda parcel provides a static installation of Anaconda, based on Python 2.7, that can be used with Python and PySpark jobs on the cluster.
Troubleshooting
Getting startedВ¶
Installing Anaconda ClientВ¶
You can use Anaconda Client command line interface (CLI) to:
NOTE: Client is not necessary to search for and download packages.
This tool can be installed using an Anaconda Prompt or the Terminal application in three ways: with conda, with pip or with pip from source. We recommend using conda.
Option 3, installing with pip from source:
After installing, view the complete list of Client tasks with this command:
Finding, downloading and installing packagesВ¶
Searching for public packagesВ¶
Anaconda.org hosts hundreds of useful Python packages for a wide variety of applications. You do not need to be logged in, or even need a Anaconda.org account, to search for public packages, download and install them. You need an account only to access private packages without a token or to share your packages with others.
To search for packages:
Refining your search resultsВ¶
You can filter search results using 3 filter controls:
Source packages are source code only, not yet built for any specific platform.
Noarch packages are built to work on all platforms.
