- The best way to install Anaconda is to download the latest Anaconda installer bash script and then run it.
- Find the latest version of Anaconda for Python 2.7 at the Anaconda Downloads Page
- Next, change to the /tmp directory. This is a good directory to download ephemeral items, like the Anaconda bash script, which we won't need after running it.
cd /tmp
- Use curl to download the link that you copied from the Anaconda website
curl -O https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda2-4.3.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
- Now let make Anaconda file executable by using
chmod
command
chmod +x Anaconda2-4.3.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
Note: How to install and run Anaconda is covered in next assignments.
