TRANSCRIPT

Hello everyone and welcome to our tutorial on Anaconda and Jupyter. Here we're going to learn how to download and install the Anaconda Navigator and Jupyter Notebooks. So for starters, what is Anaconda? Anaconda itself, is a simple distribution software that provides everything a user would need to start Python development. Anaconda includes the Python language itself. We get to actually choose which version we want. It includes the necessary libraries. I think there's over a hundred libraries included with Anaconda. There are a few editors such as Jupyter Notebooks. That's really the only one we'll use here. And then there will also be a package manager as well. As for Jupyter Notebooks, what are they? Well, a Jupyter Notebook is an open source web application that allows users to share documents with text, live code, images and more. We're going to be using Jupyter Notebooks to write code in Python as it provides an interactive and a very easy to use interface, and it's very easy to share and open files. So we'll learn now how to download and install Anaconda and Jupyter.

In the previous video, we downloaded and installed it for a Mac. If you're watching this one, I'm assuming that you're using a PC. So we're going to show you how to download and install Anaconda for PC. Jupyter actually already comes installed with Anaconda, so there should be no other installation necessary. And then I'll just show you how to start a new Jupyter Notebook up. So let's come out of this, and we're going to go to the Anaconda downloads page.

So just close up. So what we'll want is the Windows installer. So let's go ahead and select that. I would recommend going with the later version 3.6 as there are a bunch of tools that aren't included in 2.7. If you're really dead sold on 2.7, you can use that. But I would, again, recommend 3.6. So let's just go ahead and download that, and I'm just gonna actually pause the recording on my end, and come back once this is done. Alright, and we are back. So we've finally finished downloading. It took a few minutes. I just opened up the executable file. It should appear down here, you can just click on that, or you should find this, I think it defaults to your downloads, I'm not sure what your computer settings are.

So just go ahead and open up the executable file site anaconda.exe, and it should open up this installation wizard here. So let's just go ahead and click next, we'll def ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDQokJGr4gE
