¶
NOTE: The following instructions are for Miniconda. For Anaconda,
substitute
Anaconda
for
Miniconda
in all of the commands.
To run the
silent installation
of
Miniconda for macOS or Linux, specify the -b and -p arguments of
the bash installer. The following arguments are supported:
-b—Batch mode with no PATH modifications to
~/.bashrc
.
Assumes that you agree to the license agreement. Does not edit
the
.bashrc
or
.bash_profile
files.
-p—Installation prefix/path.
-f—Force installation even if prefix -p already exists.
EXAMPLE:
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda.sh -b -p
$HOME
/miniconda
export
PATH
=
"
$HOME
/miniconda/bin:
$PATH
"
NOTE: This sets the PATH only for the current session, not
permanently. Trying to use conda when conda is not in your
PATH causes errors such as “command not found.”
In each new bash session, before using conda, set the PATH and
run the activation scripts of your conda packages by running:
source $HOME/miniconda/bin/activate
NOTE: Replace
$HOME/miniconda/bin/activate
with the path to the activate script in your conda installation.
To set the PATH permanently, you can add a line to your
.bashrc
file. However, this makes it possible to use conda
without running the activation scripts of your conda packages,
which may produce errors.
EXAMPLE:
export
PATH
=
"$HOME/miniconda/bin:$PATH"
Updating Anaconda or Miniconda
¶
Open a Terminal window.
Navigate to the
anaconda
directory.
Run
conda
update
conda
.
Uninstalling Anaconda or Miniconda
¶
Open a Terminal window.
Remove the entire Miniconda install directory with:
rm
-
rf
~/
miniconda
You may also:
OPTIONAL: Edit
~/.bash_profile
to remove the Miniconda
directory from your PATH environment variable.
Remove the following hidden file and folders that may have
been created in the home directory:
.condarc
file
.conda
directory
.continuum
directory
By running:
rm
-
rf
~/.
condarc

# Installing on macOS[¶](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/4.6.1/user-guide/install/macos.html#installing-on-macos "Permalink to this headline")
1. Download the installer:
- [Miniconda installer for macOS](https://conda.io/miniconda.html).
- [Anaconda installer for macOS](https://www.anaconda.com/download/).
2. Install:
- Miniconda—In your Terminal window, run:
```
bash Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
```
- Anaconda—Double-click the `.pkg` file.
3. Follow the prompts on the installer screens.
If you are unsure about any setting, accept the defaults. You can change them later.
4. To make the changes take effect, close and then re-open your Terminal window.
5. [Test your installation](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/4.6.1/user-guide/install/test-installation.html).
