Conda is a cross-platform package manager and environment manager program that installs, runs, and updates packages and their dependencies, so you can easily set up and switch between environments on your local computer. Conda is included in all versions of Anaconda, Anaconda Server, and Miniconda.

If you are in a hurry, try our two-minute Miniconda quick install. Miniconda includes only conda, conda-build, and their dependencies so you can install cleanly and quickly.

These instructions are for a full install of Anaconda, which includes conda, conda-build, and 150+ open source packages.

On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Anaconda for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. For users on any of the three platforms who need to do so, Anaconda can also be installed system wide, which does require administrator permissions.

TIP: For installation instructions using our graphical installers for macOS or Windows, please see the Anaconda Install page.

## Anaconda requirements

300 MB to download Anaconda plus another 300 to install it.

NOTE: You do NOT need administrative or root permissions to install Anaconda if you select a user writable install location.
