Too hectic? Not anymore!

• Go to this link where you’ll be able to download the installer provided by “Anaconda Distribution”

https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/

I wanted a Python 3.7 version but you can choose either of them.

• Later open a terminal using the ctrl+T command & go to the Downloads folder. If you did not download to your Downloads directory, replace ~/Downloads/ with the path to the file you downloaded.
• Then you’ll need to run bash command which is as follows:

bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda2-2019.07-Linux-x86_64.sh

Now keep pressing enter till it asks –

• Do you accept the license terms? [yesU+007Cno]
• Do you wish the installer to initialize Anaconda3
  by running conda init? [yesU+007Cno]

The installer finishes and displays “Thank you for installing Anaconda<2 or 3>!”

Close and open your terminal window for the installation to take force, or you can enter the command

source ~/.bashrc

• Now, open a terminal window and type anaconda-navigator. If Navigator opens, you have successfully installed Anaconda. If not, check that you completed each step above, or refer to the original website.

• Now you can start using Anaconda with the instructions in Getting started with Anaconda.
