It simplifies the +set up and use of Python for data science, machine learning, and +scientific computing. It comes with all the important tools you need, +like NumPy, Pandas, and JupyterLab, so you don't have to install +everything separately. The Conda package manager helps you install and +update software without worrying about breaking other programs. It also +lets you create separate environments, so different projects don't +interfere with each other. Additionally, Anaconda includes programs like +JupyterLab for interactive coding, and Spyer a MATLAB-like IDE. + +\begin{center}\rule{0.5\linewidth}{0.5pt}\end{center} + +\subsection{Instructions}\label{instructions} + +\begin{enumerate} +\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.} +\item + Find the latest version of Navigator from the official Anaconda + Inc.~website: \href{https://www.anaconda.com/download}{Download + Anaconda} +\item + Press the \emph{Download Now} button. +\item + Press the \emph{Skip registration} button below the submit button, + otherwise submit your email address to subscribe to the Anaconda email + list. +\item + Under Anaconda Installers press \emph{Download} or find the + appropriate version for your operating system below. +\end{enumerate} + +Proceed to next section for your respective operating system. + +\subsubsection{Windows}\label{windows} + +\begin{enumerate} +\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.} +\setcounter{enumi}{4} +\tightlist +\item + Once the download is complete, double click the executable (.exe) file + to start the installer.
