Installation steps

1. Download the latest version of Anaconda Distribution by opening a terminal and running one of the following commands (depending on your Linux architecture and preferred download tool):
   The linux-aarch64 package builds might not be compatible with certain Raspberry Pi setups, as Anaconda Distribution uses compiler options that target the server-class Neoverse N1/N2 microarchitecture.
   • curl
   • wget

   Choose your architecture:

   curl -O https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2025.12-2-Linux-x86_64.sh
   

   Choose your architecture:

   wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2025.12-2-Linux-x86_64.sh
   

   For instructions on downloading an older installer version, see Using older installer versions.
2. (Optional) Anaconda recommends verifying the integrity of the installer after downloading it.
3. Install Anaconda Distribution by running one of the following commands (depending on your Linux architecture):
   The linux-aarch64 package builds might not be compatible with certain Raspberry Pi setups, as Anaconda Distribution uses compiler options that target the server-class Neoverse N1/N2 microarchitecture.

   bash ./Anaconda3-2025.12-2-Linux-x86_64.sh
   

4. Press Return to continue. You can review Anaconda’s Terms of Service (TOS) at https://anaconda.com/legal.
5. Enter yes to agree to the TOS.
6. Press Return to accept the default install location (PREFIX=/home/<USER>/anaconda3), or enter another file path to specify an alternate installation directory. The installation might take a few minutes to complete.
7. Choose yes when asked if you want to initialize conda. This modifies your shell configuration to initialize conda whenever you open a new shell and to recognize conda commands automatically.
8. The installer finishes and displays, “Thank you for installing Anaconda3!”
9. Close and re-open your terminal window for the installation to fully take effect, or use the following command to refresh the terminal, depending on your shell:

   source ~/.bashrc
   

   You should see (base) in the command line prompt. This tells you that you’re in your base conda environment. To learn more about environments, see Environments.
