Requirements
============

In order to install Fusion, your system must have at least:

* Microsoft Windows 7 or higher OR macOS.
* Microsoft Excel 2016, version 15.18 or higher, for Windows or macOS.

  NOTE: If you just installed Excel and have not opened it yet, open and close Excel before proceeding.
* Internet Explorer, version 11 or higher, or Edge for Windows, or any browser for macOS.
* Internet connection--required to install and run Fusion.
* An Anaconda subscription license file.

Network requirements
--------------------

The following network ports are used by Fusion and can be configured during the
installation process.

=======================================  =====
Component                                Port
=======================================  =====
Anaconda Fusion Server                   5987
Anaconda Fusion Notebook Server          9888
=======================================  =====

Recommended installation
========================
If you already have Anaconda installed on your computer, you must
:doc:`install Fusion using Navigator <navigator>` to prevent multiple copies of
Anaconda from being installed on your system. Multiple installations could lead
to system conflicts.

   navigator

Alternative installation
========================
If you do not have Anaconda installed on your computer, and do not want to
follow the recommended installation method--using Navigator--you can also
install Fusion with conda, a standalone installer, or by using Python2.

NOTE: The instructions differ depending on which OS you are installing on.
