Installing on Linux

1. Download the installer:

   • Miniconda installer for Linux.

   • Anaconda installer for Linux.

2. Verify your installer hashes.

3. In your terminal window, run:

   • Miniconda:

     bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
     

   • Anaconda:

     bash Anaconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
     

4. Follow the prompts on the installer screens.

   If you are unsure about any setting, accept the defaults. You can change them later.
