Как установить анаконду для питона на windows 10

This tutorial will cover step by step instructions to install Anaconda on Windows. You will also learn how to update, write your first program and uninstall Anaconda. This is going to be awesome learning, in case you are a developer or exploring Anaconda and Python.

Let’s deep dive in with these topics —

What is Anaconda

Anaconda {a.ka. Anaconda Python} is a Python and R programming language distribution for scientific computing. All predictive analytics, data science, machine learning and big data falls under scientific computing.

It’s helps to simplify package management and deployment. Anaconda is available for all platforms like Windows, macOS and Linux.

There are two version available to install Anaconda in Windows —

1. Anaconda distribution or Individual edition, which are open source and free
2.  Anaconda Team Edition and Anaconda Enterprise Edition are paid

In this tutorial, I will cover the Anaconda individual edition. It comes with more than 250 packages automatically installed and over 7500 packages available in the PyPI repository.

Conda is an open-source, language-agnostic and cross-platform package manager. It helps to manage and deploy packages using the command line while Anaconda navigator is a GUI alternative to Conda.

System requirement to Install Anaconda on Windows

1. Internet connection
2. Windows 10 machine
3. Approx. 2.7GB free disks pace.

** You don’t need python to be pre-installed because Python 3.8 automatically get install with Anaconda3.

Download Anaconda Python 3

Follow these steps to download Anaconda3 for Windows 10.

Step1.1- Visit Anaconda installers section on Anaconda.com

• Visit https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual > Scroll down on the page to the Anaconda installers section
• Select your Operating system

Step1.2- Download Installer «Anaconda» for Windows 10 ( 64-bit)

• Click on 64-bit Graphical installer (457 MB) to download Anaconda. If your system supports 32 bit only, then go for a 32-bit Graphical installer (403 MB) Anaconda download.

• Default Python 3.8 comes with it as a bundle. Later in this post, I will let you know, how to get the latest Python version 3.9 using Anaconda.

Alternatively, Just Click on below mentioned «Download buttons» to avoid all hassles.

Depending upon your internet speed, within couple of minutes, you will get «Anaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe» in your Download folder.

If you are in search of Old or Archive version of Anaconda installer for Windows 10, Then visit «https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/».

Step1.3- Verify MD5 Checksum Keys for Anaconda installer

You need to perform this step to make sure you have a legitimate copy of Anaconda.

• Visit «https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/» and search for your Anaconda installer.exe, which you just downloaded.
• Look for the MD5 checksum Key written in the 4^th column against your exe file.

For example, I will show MD5 Key for «Anaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe» in the image for reference.

• Now Type «Command prompt» in Windows search bar and open it as administrator.

• Run the Certutil.exe command and provide the full path to your download file.
• Add MD5 in the last of your command. You will get a series of number.
• Match it with the key you got in Step1.3 from the Anaconda website. If all matches, you are good to proceed further.

C:Windowssystem32>certutil.exe -hashfile "path to your anaconda file" MD5

For example, I have added «C:UsersDevDownloadsAnaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe» as the file path in the command.

Then I got 0841ffcb927a3c2edbd682520f52e546 MD5 Key. And If you will look closely, it matches with the key we noted in Step1.3.

> certutil.exe -hashfile "C:UsersDevDownloadsAnaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe" MD5

#Output#
MD5 hash of C:UsersDevDownloadsAnaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe:
0841ffcb927a3c2edbd682520f52e546
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

Now we know, that our Anaconda installer file is a genuine copy. Let’s go ahead with the installation steps.

Installing Anaconda on Windows 10 is pretty straightforward. You just need to decide on few options carefully.

Let’s deep dive into Anaconda installation steps —

Step2.1- Run Anaconda3 (Python) installer

• Go to your «Download» directory, where the Anaconda installer exists.
• <Double click> on the Anaconda installer file to run the setup.

Step2.2- click Next on «Anaconda Welcome Screen»

Click Next on the «Welcome to Anaconda3 2020.11 (64-bit) setup» screen.

Make sure you have close all other applications before starting this setup. Because it may avoid updating important relevant system files. A system reboot will become mandatory in that case.

Step2.3- Accept End User License Agreement (EULA)

Select «I Agree» on End user license agreement page.

Step2.4- Select Anaconda installation type

On this screen you will get two options —

• Just me — It’s the recommended option. If you will select this option, you can install Anaconda on Windows without admin rights. But if your system is used by more than one user or developer. He or She will not be able to access it. I will go with the «Just me» option.

• All users — If you have a system, where more than one user will use Anaconda to develop scientific programs. You should select this option. Although you will require Admin rights on this system.

Also take a look on couple of extra steps, if you want to install Anaconda on Windows for multiple users.

Click Next —

Step2.5- Choose Anaconda install location

Select Destination folder, where you want to install Anaconda on Windows 10 system. By default, Anaconda3 will get install in the «Users home directory«. For example, it is in C:usersDevenderanaconda3 in my case.

If you want to select different folder, then click Browse and choose your preferred folder.

I will go with default installation folder.

Hit Next, once you are ready.

Step2.6- Choose Advance installation options

You have flexibility to customize your Anaconda integration with Windows. There are two options available —

a. Add Anaconda3 to my PATH variable — I will not recommend you to select this option. Because setting up the Anaconda PATH variable can mess up with your previously installed software. Alternatively, you can open Anaconda Shell or Navigator using the Windows start menu. Let’s don’t tick this check box.

b. Register Anaconda3 as my default Python 3.8 — You can go with this option because it helps other software to detect Python 3.8 as primary. If you don’t want to set Python 3.8 as default, in case you are using some other python version. You can uncheck this option also.

I don’t have any other software or Python installed. So I will leave «Register Anaconda3 as my default Python 3.8» selected.

Click on «Install» button to move further.

Step2.7- Let Anaconda installation complete

Now you can relax and get a cup of coffee. This setup will take few mins to install Anaconda on Windows 10.

You can tap on «Show details» to check the details of actions happening during installation.

Step2.8- Install PyCharm Pro with Anaconda (Optional)

On this screen, Anaconda setup suggests you installing the PyCharm Pro editor. Actually, PyCharm is an IDE (integrated development environment) designed especially for Python programming by Jet Brains.

Let’s talk about PyCharm later in some other tutorial.

Click Next —

Step2.9- Finish Anaconda Installation Wizard

As soon as you will Finish completing the Anaconda3 setup. You will be redirected to the «Anaconda tutorial and the «Getting started» website of Anaconda.

Uncheck these two options on final screen to avoid redirection to Anaconda website for tutorial.

• Getting Started with Anaconda

Congrats!! you are done with latest Anaconda installation in Windows.

How to run Anaconda in Windows using CLI and GUI

When you install Anaconda on Windows, you get a lot of bundled scientific packages with it like Spyder, Python and Jupyter notebook.

There are two methods to run Anaconda in Windows. If you are a CLI (Command Line Interface) fan, you can use Conda to run on the prompt.

In the case of GUI (Graphical User Interface), an Anaconda navigator can be used to manage packages, environment and launch applications.

I will show you both methods (Conda and Navigator) to create your first program. Just follow along :—

Step3.1 (CLI Method) — Create and Activate Anaconda environment

Let’s create our first test environment and run our first program in Python3.

Step3.1 (CLI Method) — Create and Activate Anaconda environment

To create your first environment, you need to launch Anaconda3 prompt application.

• Type «Anaconda» in Windows search bar > Select Anaconda prompt application > Click Open

Step3.1.2 — Activate conda environment

By-default, you will get base(root) environment in Anaconda shell prompt.

Run the «conda create» command to set up our first test environment (test_env) with Python3. It will also install the latest Python 3.9 and Pip 21.0 packages.

(base) C:UsersDevender>conda create --name test_env python=3

Please make a note, every environment is individual in Anaconda. You need to install required packages for each environment individually.

Press «y» to install packages.

Anaconda will download, extract and install packages required. Once done, you can activate your environment with Conda activate command.

For example, test_env is the name of our newly create environment. So I will run this command —

(base) C:UsersDevender>conda activate test_env

It will switch from base(root) environment to «test_env» environment as shown in image.

** Please make a note running conda activate command without an environment name argument, drops you in the base environment. So make sure you give your environment name.

Step3.1.3 — Run your first python program

Now run Python and Type print(«your first program«) and check the output.

(test_env) C:UsersDevender>python

You will get «>>>» prompt. Type print(«Hello Anaconda! World») from your keyboard and press Enter.

# Type your first program code"
>>> print("Hello Anaconda! World")

Output should be «Hello Anaconda! World» as shown in image.

Type exit() to come out from Python prompt.

Hurray!! You have run your first python program in Anaconda successfully.

Step3.1.4 — Deactivate Conda environment

If you want to exit or want to deactivate any environment. You just need to run conda deactivate command.

For example, If I will run conda deactivate command inside my test_env environment. It will drop me to the default base environment as shown in the image.

(test_env) C:UsersDevender>conda deactivate

Step3.2 (GUI Method)- How to start Anaconda navigator and Launch Jupyter

Just to make things interesting, I will show you how to Launch the Anaconda navigator. Also, how to install and launch Jupyter notebook using Anaconda in your newly created test environment.

So follow these easy steps —

Step3.2.1 — Launch Anaconda Navigator in Windows 10

• Type «Anaconda Navigator» in Windows search bar > Select Anaconda Navigator > click Open.

Step3.2.2 — Select your test environment (test_env) and install Jupyter notebook

Jupyter notebook is a web based tool to interactively develop and present data science projects.

You can launch Jupyter notebook from <start menu> or search bar also. But It will get launch from base(root) environment by-default.

Here I will show, how you can install and launch Jupyter notebook in your custom environment. For example, test_env in my case.

• Select your environment from drop down > click on the «install» button in Jupyter Notebook application.

• Please wait and let Jupyter notebook installation complete. You can monitor the progress in Navigator task bar.

Step3.2.3 — Launch Jupyter Notebook in Anaconda navigator

Click on Launch button of Jupyter notebook.

You will see a Jupyter home page in your default web browser. The default URL path of Jupyter notebook will be http://localhost:8888/tree.

Step3.2.4 — Create your first Jupyter Notebook with Python3

Select New > Python3 notebook.

Step3.2.5 — Run first python program using Jupyter command cell

To run your first sample python program in Jupyter notebook. Follow these 3 steps —

1. Type «print(«My First Notebook») in Jupyter command cell
2. Click on Run button as shown in image
3. You will see output as «My First Notebook«.

You can also save this file. Go to File > save as > provide the file name (path) and you are done. This was just the basic, For more details, checkout Jupyter documentation.

Enjoy! Anaconda and Jupyter in your development journey.

This post provides you a thorough description of how to install both the anaconda and python versions on your Windows computer, and how to access them individually.

✏ Introduction.

If you’re reading this post, then you’re either an ML enthusiast or an enthusiast like me to try various python distributions 😅.

As a python developer, there will be situations where one needs to work with more than one distributions of python. And it’s known fact that accessing different distributions of python is a bit tricky and can be a hectic job for beginners. Well, after reading this post, hope you’ll get a clear picture how to use both with ease.

📃 Requirements

• A Windows 10 operating machine.
• Python (any version).
• Anaconda Distribution Package.

That’s it.

In this scenario, I’ll be using latest version of Python 3.9.1, however you’re free to use any version of python.

Install Anaconda Distribution

Download the latest version of Anaconda Distribution here

• Run the installer.
  

• Make sure you have checked out Add Anaconda3 to my PATH environment variable. This provides the flexibility to access the distribution of anaconda python anywhere from the PC.
  

• Click on Install. Hang on some time, the installation will take a while depending on your system performance.

• Once installed, do a quick run of Anaconda Navigator and ensure it’s running fine.

🐍 Install Python

Download the appropriate version python exe installer from here

• Run the installer.

• Make sure that you have checked out ADD Python to PATH.
  

• Click on Customize installation and make few clicks on Next till you’ve got this page.
  

• Choose a custom location other than the default. In this case I’ve choose D:Python39.

• Click on Install and hang on for few moments until it get installed.

🤔 How to Access Anaconda & Python from cmd?

Accessing Anaconda from cmd:

It’s actually simple to access / activate anaconda distribution.

• Open command prompt and use the following command to activate conda base environment.

conda activate base

• Type python and you’ll be welcomed with python from anaconda environment.
  

• The (base) before the path indicates that conda environment is active.

• To deactivate conda environment, use the following command

conda deactivate

Well, with that you’ve learned how to access/activate conda environment using cmd, let’s look into accessing python environment using cmd.

Note: Every anaconda distribution comes with base environment. Any additional virtual environments created inside anaconda can be activated using the conda activate <envname>

Accessing Python from cmd:

A simple thing to remember here, just make sure that you’re not in conda environment in order to access Native Python distribution.

• Just type python or py to open the python interpreter.
  

📥 Install packages differently

With both the distributions installed, you have control on installing packages separately for each distribution.

• To install any package/dependency in conda environment, use the following command

conda install <packageName>

• To install any package/dependency in native python, use the following command

pip install <packageName>

That’s it! ✌
