Installation#
-
Download the Anaconda installer.
-
Go to your Downloads folder and double-click the installer to launch. To prevent permission errors, do not launch the installer from the Favorites folder.
Note
If you encounter issues during installation, temporarily disable your anti-virus software during install, then re-enable it after the installation concludes. If you installed for all users, uninstall Anaconda and re-install it for your user only.
-
Click Next.
-
Read the licensing terms and click I Agree.
-
It is recommended that you install for Just Me, which will install Anaconda Distribution to just the current user account. Only select an install for All Users if you need to install for all users’ accounts on the computer (which requires Windows Administrator privileges).
-
Click Next.
-
Select a destination folder to install Anaconda and click Next. Install Anaconda to a directory path that does not contain spaces or unicode characters. For more information on destination folders, see the FAQ.
Caution
Do not install as Administrator unless admin privileges are required.
-
Choose whether to add Anaconda to your PATH environment variable or register Anaconda as your default Python. We don’t recommend adding Anaconda to your PATH environment variable, since this can interfere with other software. Unless you plan on installing and running multiple versions of Anaconda or multiple versions of Python, accept the default and leave this box checked. Instead, use Anaconda software by opening Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Prompt from the Start Menu.
Note
As of
Anaconda Distribution 2022.05, the option to add Anaconda to the PATH environment variable during an All Users installation has been disabled. This was done to address a security exploit. You can still add Anaconda to the PATH environment variable during a Just Me installation.
-
Click Install. If you want to watch the packages Anaconda is installing, click Show Details.
-
Click Next.
-
Optional: To learn more about Anaconda’s cloud notebook service, go to https://www.anaconda.com/code-in-the-cloud.
Or click Continue to proceed.
-
After a successful installation you will see the “Thanks for installing Anaconda” dialog box:
-
If you wish to read more about Anaconda.org and how
to get started with Anaconda, check the boxes “Anaconda Distribution Tutorial” and “Learn more about Anaconda”. Click the Finish button. -
Verify your installation.
Tip
If you are behind a company proxy, you may need to do some additional setup. See how to set up your proxy.

Anaconda or Miniconda?

Choosing a version of Anaconda or Miniconda
-
GUI versus command line installer
-
Choosing a version of Python
-
Cryptographic hash verification
You have 3 conda download options:
-
Download Anaconda—free.
-
Download Miniconda—free.
-
Purchase Anaconda Enterprise.
You can download any of these 3 options with legacy Python 2.7 or
current Python 3.
You can also choose a version with a GUI or a command line
installer.
Tip
If you are unsure which option to download, choose the
most recent version of Anaconda3.
If you are on Windows or macOS, choose the version with the
GUI installer.
Anaconda or Miniconda?
Choose Anaconda if you:
-
Are new to conda or Python.
-
Like the convenience of having Python and over 1,500 scientific
packages automatically installed at once. -
Have the time and disk space—a few minutes and 3 GB.
-
Do not want to individually install each of the packages you
want to use. -
Wish to use a set of packages curated and vetted for interoperability and usability.
Choose Miniconda if you:
-
Do not mind installing each of the packages you want to use
individually. -
Do not have time or disk space to install over 1,500 packages at
once. -
Want fast access to Python and the conda commands and you wish
to sort out the other programs later.
Choosing a version of Anaconda or Miniconda
-
Whether you use Anaconda or Miniconda, select the most recent
version. -
Select an older version from the archive only if you are testing
or need an older version for a specific purpose. -
To use conda on Windows XP, select Anaconda 2.3.0 and see
../configuration/use-winxp-with-proxy.
GUI versus command line installer
Both GUI and command line installers are available for Windows,
macOS, and Linux:
-
If you do not wish to enter commands in a terminal window,
choose the GUI installer. -
If GUIs slow you down, choose the command line version.
Choosing a version of Python
-
The last version of Python 2 is 2.7, which is included with
Anaconda and Miniconda. -
The newest stable version of Python is quickly included
with Anaconda3 and Miniconda3. -
You can easily set up additional versions of Python such as 3.9
by downloading any version and creating a new environment with
just a few clicks. See Getting started with conda.
Cryptographic hash verification
SHA-256 checksums are available for
Miniconda and
Anaconda.
We do not recommend using MD5 verification as SHA-256 is more secure.
Download the installer file and before installing verify it as follows:
-
Windows:
-
If you have PowerShell V4 or later:
Open a PowerShell console and verify the file as follows:
Get-FileHash filename -Algorithm SHA256
-
If you don’t have PowerShell V4 or later:
Use the free online verifier tool
on the Microsoft website.-
Download the file and extract it.
-
Open a Command Prompt window.
-
Navigate to the file.
-
Run the following command:
Start-PsFCIV -Path C:\path\to\file.ext -HashAlgorithm SHA256 -Online
-
-
-
macOS: In iTerm or a terminal window enter
shasum -a 256 filename. -
Linux: In a terminal window enter
sha256sum filename.
