The method to install Anaconda on a Linux system is as follows:

  1. Firstly, download the Anaconda installation package for Linux from the official Anaconda website (https://www.anaconda.com/products/distribution). Choose the appropriate version, such as Python 3.7 or Python 3.8.
  2. Open the terminal and use the following command to download the Anaconda installation package:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh
  1. Run the installation script using the following command:
bash Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh
  1. During the installation process, there will be some prompts to follow for settings. Typically, you will need to agree to the license agreement and choose an installation path.
  2. After installation is complete, you will need to reload the terminal configuration file in order for Anaconda to take effect. You can do this by using the following command:
source ~/.bashrc
  1. Finally, you can use the following command to check if Anaconda has been successfully installed and to view the current version of Python installed:
conda --version
python --version

You have successfully installed Anaconda on your Linux system. You can now manage Python environments and packages using the conda command.
