How to Install Anaconda | Python Tutorial | Quantra Free Course

In this video, you will understand the installation of Python in your local system. We will start by first uninstalling Anaconda.
Ensure you do not have Python installed already. If you do, uninstall it first. If you don’t you can skip this part.
While I wait for uninstallation to complete, I will download the installer from Anaconda downloads.

This might take a few moments. Meanwhile, my uninstallation is running in the background. I will reboot the system once it is complete. After rebooting the system, I will run the exe file.
The next few steps are similar to installing any new software on a computer. Anaconda provides an integrated development environment, in short IDE, where Python codes are written and run. It’s pretty similar for Mac users once you download the graphical installer.

If you face any difficulty in installing Anaconda then please report the errors along with screenshots and error description at the support group. This might take a few minutes, I have fast forwarded the recording to reach the end of installation. Once you have successfully installed Anaconda on your system, open the navigation.
You will see available softwares as shown here on the windows machine. Let us now look at a Jupyter notebook. You can open a Jupyter notebook by just clicking at it and waiting for a few minutes before the application opens a web browser.
This is an interactive notebook, which allows you to edit and execute the code. You are required to run the codes by clicking on the run cell or by pressing ctrl and Enter simultaneously. When you execute or run these lines, you get the output which is right below the code.

Similarly, I continue to read the explanatory text and run the code lines. You can upload an already saved file and continue to work on it.
Hope you enjoy using Notebook and remember to run all the codes!
