Anaconda is a distribution of packages designed for data science. It comes with conda, a package, and an environmental manager. We often use Anaconda to create environments for our projects using different Python types or other types of packages. We also use it to install, uninstall, and update packages in our project areas.

In this article, I will be guiding you to install Anaconda on your system.
