Anaconda Python Installation

tessiemcgough edited this page Apr 28, 2020 · 5 revisions

For Python on your personal computer, we recommend Anaconda's distribution of Python v3.7 and compatible popular scientific computation packages. This distribution readily contains a couple of hundred most popular Python packages, as well as highly technical dependencies for many others that may otherwise take you a hard time to install.

Go here to download a graphical installer appropriate for your machine’s

  • processor (32-bit / 64-bit), and
  • operating system (Mac / Windows).

Run the installer and follow its instructions to install the software into a folder you prefer.

Note that the Anaconda installation folder path MUST NOT CONTAIN BLANK SPACES, because spaces occasionally cause bugs in dependent open-source software packages.
