# Customizing installers

Anaconda Repository can distribute copies of the Anaconda distribution and the Miniconda installer that are pre-configured to use your installation of Repository.

This applies to Anaconda Distribution version 4.1 and higher, and Miniconda version 4.1.11 and higher.

By default the installers will be stored in `$PREFIX/opt/anaconda-server/installers`. If you prefer to store the installers in a different location, configure a new path:

    anaconda-server-config --set INSTALLER_DIR /preferred/directory

NOTE: Replace “/preferred/directory” with the path to the directory where you prefer to store the installers.

If necessary, edit the script below and replace “5.0.1” with the current version number.

To download the installers:

    mkdir -p /tmp/extras
    pushd /tmp/extras

    URL="http://repo.continuum.io"

    version="5.0.1"
    miniconda="Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh \
        Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh \
        Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86.exe \
        Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe \
        Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh \
        Miniconda-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh \
        Miniconda-latest-Windows-x86.exe \
        Miniconda-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe"
    anaconda="Anaconda2-$version-Linux-x86_64.sh \
        Anaconda3-$version-Linux-x86_64.sh \
        Anaconda2-$version-MacOSX-x86_64.sh \
        Anaconda3-$version-MacOSX-x86_64.sh \
        Anaconda2-$version-MacOSX-x86_64.pkg \
        Anaconda3-$version-MacOSX-x86_64.pkg \
        Anaconda2-$version-Windows-x86_64.exe \
        Anaconda3-$version-Windows-x86_64.exe"

    for installer in $miniconda; do
        curl -O $URL/miniconda/$installer
    done
    for installer in $anaconda; do
        curl -O $URL/archive/$installer
    done

    # Move the files into the installers directory
    popd
    cp -a /tmp/extras $PREFIX/opt/anaconda-server/installers

The installers will be available for download from `http://your.anaconda.server:port/downloads`.

NOTE: Replace “your.anaconda.server:port” with the name or IP address and port of your Anaconda server.

The downloadable file will be a zip file containing the Anaconda distribution and the configuration files specific to your Repository. These zip files are cached in the server’s configured storage for quick retrieval.

Check that the `SERVER_NAME` setting has been set so you generate the correct URLs in the next step.

To pre-generate these installer bundles based on the downloaded installers, or to re-generate after downloading new installers, execute the command:

    anaconda-server-admin update-installers

This command requires that the SERVER_NAME setting be set in order to generate the correct URLs.

By default, the included `conda` installation will point to the default `anaconda` and `r-channel` accounts on your Anaconda Repository server, if those accounts exist.

You can change these default channels by setting the `DEFAULT_CHANNELS` setting, and then running the `anaconda-server-admin update-installers` command.
