This document will guide you on how to install Python 3.xx using Anaconda distribution

Pre-requisites: Make sure the following pre-requisites are satisfied:

  • Windows 7 or above
  • An internet connection
  • 4 Gb of Ram or more
  • Atleast 2 Gb of free hard disk space

Step 1: Visit https://www.anaconda.com/download/

  • Download the relevant installer based on your operating system. Note: We are using Python 3.xx in this course, so we recommend that you download latest version of Python 3 from this link. As of today, Python 3.6 is the latest version offered by Anaconda.
  • After the download is complete, run the installer. This usually takes a long time.

Step 2: Verify if the installation has happened correctly

  • After the installer is finished running. Go to the start button and search for "anaconda prompt".
  • Start the anaconda prompt by clicking on it
  • At the prompt, type
jupyter notebook
  • Wait for a while, in your browser a Jupyter notebook instance should open up.
  • You can now start working with Python!!!

For more details on how to work with jupyter notebooks, you can follow the video,T2 Introduction to Python: Overview and Installation/Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook, in the Module "Introduction to Machine Learning and Python for Machine Learning"
