I bought a new computer today. I will use this new computer to do a tutorial on setting up a python development environment and installing anaconda tutorial.
The new computer is a Windows operating system, so this tutorial is suitable for novices to install anaconda under the Windows operating system.
Anaconda is an open source Python distribution that includes more than 180 scientific packages such as Conda and Python and their dependencies. The download file of Anaconda is relatively large (about 531 MB-900MB). If you only need certain packages, or need to save bandwidth or storage space, you can also use Miniconda, a smaller distribution (containing only Conda and Python). Anaconda uses the tool/command Conda to manage packages and environment, and already includes Python and related supporting tools. The main features of Anaconda are open source, simple installation process, high performance using Python and R language, and free community support.
Advantages of Anaconda include:
Save time and worry: Anaconda greatly simplifies the workflow by managing tool packages, development environments, and Python versions. Not only can the tool package be easily installed, updated, and uninstalled, but also the corresponding dependency packages can be automatically installed during installation. At the same time, different virtual environments can be used to isolate projects with different requirements.
Analysis tool: Anaconda contains many Python third-party open source libraries related to data science and machine learning, covering many aspects such as data visualization, machine learning, and deep learning. Not only can it be used for data analysis, it can even be used in the fields of big data and artificial intelligence.
Disadvantages of Anaconda include:
Since Anaconda is an integrated environment, it cannot satisfy users who expect a lightweight installation. For users, it may install some open source libraries that users may not necessarily use.
For beginners, Anaconda may be too powerful and it will automatically install some of your
