Installation Instructions [Linux Install]

These instructions explain how to install Anaconda on a Linux system.

After downloading the Anaconda installer, run the following command from a terminal:

$ bash Anaconda-2.x.x-Linux-x86[_64].sh

After accepting the license terms, you will be asked to specify the install location (which defaults to ~/anaconda).

_{Note: You do NOT need root privileges to install Anaconda, if you select a user writable install location, such as ~/anaconda.* After the self extraction is finished, you should add the anaconda binary directory to your PATH environment variable.}

_{As all of Anaconda is contained in a single directory, uninstalling Anaconda is easy (you simply remove the entire install location directory).}

If you encounter any issues, please try disabling your antivirus software.
Linux/OS X Uninstall

As all of Anaconda is contained in a single directory, uninstalling Anaconda is simple (you simply remove the entire install location directory):

$ rm -rf ~/anaconda

You can use wget to download from commandline:

For Python3:

• 
  

  32 bits version:

  
  
  

  wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-5.3.1-Linux-x86.sh
  

  
  


• 
  

  64 bits version

  
  
  

  wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-5.3.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
  

  
  

And after download is finished do:

• 
  

  32 bits:

  
  
  

  bash Anaconda-5.3.1-Linux-x86.sh
  

  
  


• 
  

  64 bits:

  
  
  

  bash Anaconda3-5.3.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
  

  
  

For users using Python2, the "3" directly after Anaconda should be changed to a 2.

Nobody has explained here why apt-get and other package managers don't have packages for anaconda.

An important reason for this is that anaconda is meant to be usable by a user who, for whatever reason, doesn't have root privileges. In that case the user just installs into ~/anaconda, changes her own PATH and PYTHONHOME variables so as to run ~/anaconda/python, and is capable of controlling her personal python distribution, while modifying the "system" python might require an administrator's help.

Package managers always require sysadmin privileges.

In addition to @Vivek's answer, to get the latest python3 64-bit Linux version:

CONTREPO=https://repo.continuum.io/archive/
# Stepwise filtering of the html at $CONTREPO
# Get the topmost line that matches our requirements, extract the file name.
ANACONDAURL=$(wget -q -O - $CONTREPO index.html | grep "Anaconda3-" | grep "Linux" | grep "86_64" | head -n 1 | cut -d " -f 2)
wget -O ~/Downloads/anaconda.sh $CONTREPO$ANACONDAURL
bash ~/Downloads/anaconda.sh

The grep filters in line 3 can be altered to match your requirements, of course.

Q: What is going on here?

• 
  wget -q -O - URL quietly (-q) gets the html at URL (in this case https://repo.continuum.io/archive/, which is accessed as $CONTREPO) and sends it to standard out (-O -).


• | is called "pipe", and sends the output of the preceding command to the next command.


• 
  grep "text" returns the lines from its input that contain text. So first, we select all lines that contain "Anaconda3", then of those, we select all lines containing "Linux", and then all lines containing "86_64" (for the 64-bit version).


• 
  head -n 1 returns the first line of the input. I rely on the website maintaining order so that the most recent version is on top.


• 
  cut -d " -f 2 splits the input on the double quote characters (-d "), which surround the filename in the HTML's href, and returns the second field (-f 2), being the target of the href.

If you are trying to it entirely in command line you use a bash script
python 2 anaconda install bash script:

# Go to home directory
cd ~

# You can change what anaconda version you want at 
# https://repo.continuum.io/archive/
wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/anaconda
rm Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
echo 'export PATH="~/anaconda/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc 

# Reload default profile
source ~/.bashrc

conda update conda

python 3 anaconda install bash script

# Go to home directory
cd ~

# You can change what anaconda version you want at 
# https://repo.continuum.io/archive/
wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/anaconda
rm Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
echo 'export PATH="~/anaconda/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc 

# Reload default profile
source ~/.bashrc

conda update conda
