To use Anaconda on Linux, the first step is to download and install Anaconda. Installation can be done by following these steps:

  1. Download the Anaconda installation package for Linux from the official Anaconda website (https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual).
  2. Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the downloaded Anaconda installation package is located.
  3. Run the following command to execute the installation program:
bash Anaconda3-xxx-Linux-x86_64.sh

Anaconda3-xxx-Linux-x86_64.sh is the name of the Anaconda installation package, replace it with the actual downloaded file name.

  1. The installation wizard will guide you through the installation process. Follow the prompts to choose the installation path and decide whether to add Anaconda to the system environment variables.
  2. After the installation is complete, reopen the terminal. You can verify if Anaconda has been successfully installed by running the following command.
conda --version

If installation is successful, the version information of Anaconda will be displayed.

  1. Tools and commands provided by Anaconda can now be used to manage and utilize Python environments. For example, you can use the following command to create a new Python environment:
conda create --name myenv python=3.8

Here, myenv is the name of the environment, and python=3.8 specifies the Python version.

  1. Activate the newly created environment.
conda activate myenv

It is now possible to install and run Python packages in this environment.

These are the basic steps to use Anaconda on Linux. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the official Anaconda documentation.
