Step 4: Installing the Anaconda distribution of Python

First, download the Anaconda installer script:

$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh

Next, set the script to executable:

$ chmod +x Anaconda*.sh

Then, run the installation script:

$ ./Anaconda3-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh

The installer will ask for several options. To verify successful installation, use the following command:

$ python3

The Python3 REPL loads into the terminal with a banner reflecting the Anaconda distribution version installed on your instance.
