\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.
