Anaconda Cheat Sheet

Anaconda is an easy-to-install Python and R distribution that includes over 720 open source packages for data science. It simplifies installing Python and R along with dependencies. Miniconda is similar but downloads only specified packages rather than including all 720. The document provides instructions for installing Anaconda, accessing documentation and cheat sheets, and lists some top data science packages included like NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, and Matplotlib.

BEFORE YOU START

Why do I need Anaconda? Installing Python from scratch is no joy. Many scientific packages require a specific
version of Python or R computer language along with many dependencies. It's hard to
keep packages from interacting with each other, and harder to keep them all updated.
Anaconda makes getting and maintaining all these packages quick and easy.

What is Anaconda? The open source version of Anaconda is an easy-to-install high performance Python and
R distribution with a package manager, environment manager and collection of 720+
open source packages with free community support.

Then what is Miniconda? It's Anaconda without the collection of 720 open source packages.
With Miniconda you download only the packages you want with the conda command,
"conda install PACKAGENAME"

GET IT

Will it work on Yes, Anaconda is available for Windows, OS X or Linux, 32- or 64-bit, 400 MB HD
my machine? available. Miniconda same but needs only 3 MB HD.
