# Installation

On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Anaconda for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. However, if you need to, you can install Anaconda system wide, which does require administrator permissions.

TIP: If you don’t want the hundreds of packages included with Anaconda, you can install Miniconda, a mini version of Anaconda that includes just conda, its dependencies and Python.

TIP: Looking for Python 3.5? See our FAQ.

## Silent mode install

## Installing Anaconda on a non-networked machine

1. Obtain a local copy of the appropriate Anaconda installer for the non-networked machine. You can copy the Anaconda installer to the target machine using many different methods including, but not limited to, a portable hard drive, USB drive or CD.
2. After copying the installer to the non-networked machine, follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
