Installing Anaconda | (Data Science ss : 6)

Anaconda

* What is Anaconda :

Anaconda is a free & open-source distribution of the Python & R programming languages for scientific computing, that aims to simplify package management & deployment. Packet versions are managed by the package management system conda. Conda is a package manager similar to pip. Conda allows you to install non-python libraries dependencies such as HDF5,MKL,LLVM etc. With pip you can only install python dependency.

* Why Anaconda :

From my opinion this is a great tool for us Data Scientist & Machine Learning developers to portrait our skills, Manage our codes & easy to enhance it's easy to use interface.

* Steps to install Anaconda :

(i) Click on the following link :

https://www.anaconda.com/

(ii) Anaconda provides Cloud services too, so if you are interested to use there services you have to register your self first then you can use it or else i'll recommend you is just go to download & download it.

(iii) Go to the path that you had given while downloading Anaconda & just double click & install it.

(iv)After installation Anaconda successfully click to the start icon, then you will see 2 things 

1.) Anaconda Prompt

2.) Anaconda Navigator

1.) Anaconda Prompt : It is noting but command prompt for Anaconda where you will use it to install packages such as Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib etc.

2.) Now go to the Anaconda Navigator & Launch the Jupyterlab it will be our IDE. Where we will be running all our codes....yes i know you can use spider too...but I think Jupyterlab is more suitable.
