What is Anaconda? Install Anaconda On Windows.

dear friends we are going to look into what is anaconda and how to install it anaconda is nothing but a bunch of Python packages plus a package manager called Conda now these Python packages are very popular in data science communities some of these packages are numpy SCI pi NL DK scikit-learn Jupiter etc so if you are having a plain Python installed on your machine then in order to install all these packages you have to run pip and in usually install these packages versus if you install anaconda you get all of these in one shot so it's just a convenience that anaconda gives you so I am going to now install anaconda on Windows you can go to google and type in download anaconda and the first link will be from continuum dot IO which is a company behind anaconda so you click on it and then you click on the appropriate OS so I am going to install it on Windows I'm clicking on this icon here and then I will choose Python 3.5 version they also have Python 2.7 so it's up to you which one you want to install I have 64-bit system so I will click here now this package is pretty big 391 megabyte so it's gonna take few minutes so you have to wait but I would say it's worth installing this big package because you'll get variety of packages for free ok my installation process is about to begin as my download just got finished so I have this downloaded executable the Installer I will double click on it and it's pretty straightforward you will just follow the steps I will install it for all the users and so on ok so you will specify your path it's gonna consume 1.8 gigabyte and you say next next next and it will install it at some okay it got installed successfully I am going to verify the installation by opening the command prompt and here type the command Condor list now Conda is a package manager similar to PIP that comes with anaconda now why do we need corner if you have a pip which allows you to install python modules well Conda allows you to install non Python dependencies so with PIP you can only install Python dependencies with Conda you can install non-vital dependencies such as LLVM okay so that's the benefit of using Conda as a package manager so Condor list will list on all the packages that we got with our anaconda installation and you will see many useful packages so the first one here is flask it's a web framework which is pretty good then you have Jupiter ipython so you fear running Jupiter not book you get that from there you have an l TK for national natural language processing knows for unit testing you have numpy over the efecto useful library for all the designs numpy and pandas these two extremely popular and powerful then you have some of the SyFy scikit-learn scikit-learn is used for machine learning Sify for scientific community computing SQL alchemy and so on alright so you got all these libraries installed now I am going to quickly verify it by importing them so I imported Python and I'm going to import scipy ok it did not work here because looks like I am running an older version of Python so in my part I had this Python version which is pointing to I have this Python command which is pointing to older so I'm going to just directly run from okay so see program files I have anaconda installed here and from here I will directly run Python exe and I will import side by and you see that it can stop it imported it successfully so now you can go ahead and use all of these awesome libraries and do amazing stuff with Python alright so that was all about arakata install anaconda installation and some brief introduction keep on watching my tutorials I have an exciting series coming in for pandas and if you like the tutorial then please give it a thumbs up subscribe and comment below thank you for watching bye
