Installation and Setup
B.1 Install Python

B.1.1 Anaconda
For the most part, the directions listed on the main Anaconda download site will be the same as the ones listed in this book.1 You can also look at the Anaconda installation documentation.2 Be sure to use the Python 3 version. If you also need to have Python 2, follow the instructions in Appendix F on creating Python environments.
