How to Install Anaconda Distribution In Windows System and Run Some Basic Conda Commands.

in dtube •  7 years ago 


Anaconda is a distribution package for programming languages like python, the most popular python data science platform as it says.

The main advantage of using anaconda is it comes with many pre-built python/data science packages, which will be installed automatically after installing anaconda distribution in our system.
Anaconda also comes with it's own inbuilt package and environment management system called conda which is a open source project.

Some Advantage of using Anaconda In Windows System.

  • User level install of the version of python you want. it's a lot easier for someone new to python to install one Anaconda package.
  • Able to install/update packages completely independent of system libraries or admin privileges. we can search and install any packages(python or non-python).
  • The conda tool installs binary packages, rather than requiring compile resources like pip - again, handy if you have limited privileges for installing necessary libraries.
  • More or less eliminates the headaches of trying to figure out which version/release of package X is compatible with which version/release of package Y, both of which are required for the install of package Z
  • Comes either in full version, with numpy, scipy, PyQt, spyder IDE, etc. or in minimal / alacarte version (miniconda) where you can install what you want, when you need it.
  • No risk of messing up required system libraries
  • It is popular among data scientists because of
    this same reason, it comes with many packages for data science like numpy,scipy,mathplotlib, jupyter notebook etc.
