Anaconda Distribution (Python 2.x)

Anaconda® is a package manager, an environment manager, a Python distribution, and a collection of [over 1,000+ open source packages](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/packages/pkg-docs/). It is free and easy to install, and it offers free community support.

Anaconda Distribution contains conda and Anaconda Navigator. You can try both conda and Navigator to see which is right for you to manage your packages and environments. You can even switch between them, and the work you do with one can be viewed in the other.

Download the [Anaconda Cheat Sheet](https://docs.anaconda.com/_downloads/Anaconda-Starter-Guide-Cheat-Sheet.pdf) (48 KB PDF) for a quick guide to using Anaconda.

##### Package Defaults

Anaconda Python:

* will install for **all users**

* **will not** be added to the path

* **will** be registered as the default Python

* will install to `$ChocolateyToolsLocation\Anaconda2` (i.e. `C:\Tools\Anaconda2` by default)

You can change any of the defaults with package parameters:

* `/JustMe` - Install for only the current user.

* `/AddToPath` - Add Anaconda Python to the path.

* `/DoNotRegister` - Do not register Anaconda Python as the default Python.

* `/D:(path)` - Choose another, *existing*, parent directory to place the 'Anaconda2' directory.

###### Example :

`choco install anaconda3 --params '"/AddToPath /D:c:\MyTools"'`.
