If you navigate to the directory where you chose to install “miniconda” (for me, C:\Users\MY_USERNAME\Documents\ProgramFilesForSoftwareHatingSpaces\Continuum\miniconda3\), you’ll see a bunch of files. (The second checkbox brings you here the first just brings you to Anaconda’s website.) Leave the “learn more” boxes checked, or un-check them, as you prefer, and click “ Finish.” Lots of support programs written in “C” teach your Windows computer how to understand commands written in “Python” (presuming you, or a program like an “IDE” acting on your behalf, tell Windows where exactly you installed your software that can help parse these commands – for me, that would be C:\Users\MY_USERNAME\Documents\ProgramFilesForSoftwareHatingSpaces\Continuum\miniconda3\python.exe). The installer takes a few minutes while it dumps thousands of small files onto your hard drive.Ī: Your computer doesn’t naturally understand Python commands.Īt a really low level, it understand commands in its “assembly language” (which you wouldn’t want to have to write by hand).Īll Windows computers are shipped understanding a language called “C” (which, if you don’t want to become a professional programmer, you probably still wouldn’t want to have to write by hand). You will probably want to leave it checked. I’m just installing this to blog about it. This comes checked, and they recommend it, but I already have Python installed elsewhere on my computer.
