# Anaconda for Linux install

In your browser, download the Anaconda installer for Linux.

Optional: Verify data integrity with MD5 or SHA-256. More info on hashes

Open a terminal window and type the following:

    bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-4.3.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

NOTE: Replace ~/Downloads with your actual path and Anaconda3-4.3.0-Linux-x86_64.sh with your actual file name.

NOTE: Accept the default location or select a user-writable install location such as `~/anaconda`.

NOTE: Install Anaconda as a user unless root privileges are required.

Follow the prompts on the installer screens, and if unsure about any setting, simply accept the defaults, as they can all be changed later.

NOTE: If you select the option to not add the Anaconda directory to your bash shell PATH environment variable, you may later add this line to the file .bashrc in your home directory: `export PATH="/home/username/anaconda/bin:$PATH"` Replace /home/username/anaconda with the actual path.

The output of a successful installation will include the messages “Installation finished.” and “Thank you for installing Anaconda!”

Close and re-open your terminal window for the changes to take effect.

When your install is complete, begin using Anaconda with the instructions in What’s next?
