+\section{Installing Anaconda}\label{installing-anaconda}
+
+This tutorial will cover the steps on how to install Anaconda.
+
+\emph{Note for Advanced users: For those who wish to have a lightweight
+installation, can install miniconda or miniForge, however for this
+course we will show you how to use Anaconda Navigator. If you've never
+used the programs before then using Anaconda is recommended.}
+
+\subsubsection{What is Anaconda?}\label{what-is-anaconda}
+
+Anaconda Distribution is a popular open-source Python distribution
+specifically designed for scientific computing, data science, machine
+learning, and artificial intelligence applications. 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.
