]
It also launched PyData community workshops and the Jupyter Cloud Notebook service (Wakari.io).
[
15
]
In 2013, it received funding from
DARPA
.
[
21
]
In 2015, the company had two million users including 200 of the
Fortune 500
companies
[
11
]
and raised $24 million in a
Series A
funding round led by
General Catalyst
and BuildGroup.
[
22
]
Anaconda secured an additional $30 million in funding in 2021.
[
23
]
Continuum Analytics rebranded as Anaconda in 2017.
[
24
]
That year, it announced the release of Anaconda Enterprise 5,
[
25
]
an integration with
Microsoft Azure
,
[
15
]
and had over 13 million users by year's end.
[
26
]
In 2022, it released Anaconda Business;
[
27
]
new integrations with Snowflake and others;
[
28
]
and the open-source
PyScript
.
[
29
]
It also acquired
PythonAnywhere
,
[
30
]
while Anaconda's user base exceeded 30 million in 2022.
[
28
]
In 2023, Anaconda released Python in Excel, a new integration with
Microsoft Excel
,
[
31
]
and launched PyScript.com.
[
29
]
The company made a series of investments in AI during 2024.
[
32
]
That February, Anaconda partnered with
IBM
to import its repository of Python packages into
Watsonx
, IBM's
generative AI
platform.
[
33
]
The same year, Anaconda joined IBM's AI Alliance
[
15
]
and released an integration with
Teradata
[
34
]
and
Lenovo
.
[
35
]
In 2024, Anaconda's user base reached 45 million users
[
14
]
and Barry Libert was named company CEO,
[
15
]
after serving on Anaconda's board of directors.
[
36
]
He was succeeded as CEO in October 2025 by David DeSanto, who also became a company director.
[
37
]
In May 2025, the company introduced the first unified AI platform for Open Source, Anaconda AI Platform, a
central control
for AI workflows that enables customization in Python-based enterprise AI development.
[
38
]
[
39
]
That July, after reaching over $150 million in a Series C funding round, Anaconda was evaluated at about $1.5 billion.
[
40
]
Anaconda distribution
comes with over 300 packages automatically installed, and over 7,500 additional open-source packages can be installed from the Anaconda repository
[
41
]
as well as the Conda package and
virtual environment
manager. It also includes a
GUI
,
Anaconda Navigator
,
[
42
]
as a graphical alternative to the
command-line interface
(CLI).
[
43
]
Conda
was developed to address dependency conflicts native to the
pip package manager
, which would automatically install any dependent Python packages without checking for conflicts with previously installed packages
[
44
]
(until its version 20.3, which later implemented consistent dependency resolution).
[
45
]
The Conda package manager's historical differentiation analyzed and resolved these installation conflicts.
[
44
]
Anaconda is a
distribution
of the
Python
programming language
(and previously also
R
) for
scientific computing
(
data science
,
machine learning
applications, large-scale
data processing
,
predictive analytics
, etc.), that aims to simplify
package management
and
deployment
. Anaconda distribution includes data-science packages suitable for
Windows
,
Linux
, and
macOS
.
[
12
]
Other company products include Anaconda Free, and subscription-based Starter, Business and Enterprise.
[
10
]
Anaconda's business tier offers Package Security Manager.
[
46
]
Package versions in Anaconda are managed by the package management system
Conda
,
[
47
]
which was spun out as a separate
open-source
package as useful both independently and for applications other than Python.
[
48
]
There is also a small,
bootstrap
version of Anaconda called
Miniconda
, which includes only Conda, Python, the packages they depend on, and a small number of other packages.
[
49
]
Open source packages can be individually installed from the Anaconda repository,
[
50
]
Anaconda Cloud (anaconda.org), or the user's own private repository or mirror, using the
conda install
command. Anaconda, Inc.
compiles
and builds the packages available in the Anaconda
repository
itself, and provides
binaries
for
Windows
32
/
64 bit
, Linux 64 bit and
MacOS
64-bit (Intel,
Apple Silicon
). Anything available on PyPI may be installed into a Conda environment using pip, and Conda will keep track of what it has installed and what pip has installed.
[
citation needed
]
Custom packages can be made using the
conda build
command, and can be shared with others by uploading them to Anaconda Cloud,
[
51
]
PyPI or other repositories.
[
citation needed
]
The default installation of Anaconda2 includes Python 2.7 and Anaconda3 includes Python 3.7. However, it is possible to create new environments that include any version of Python packaged with Conda.
[
52
]
Anaconda Navigator
Anaconda Navigator is a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) included in Anaconda distribution that allows users to launch applications and manage Conda packages, environments and channels without using
command-line commands
. Navigator can search for packages on Anaconda Cloud or in a local Anaconda Repository, install them in an environment, run the packages and update them.
[
43
]
It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
[
19
]
[
53
]
The following applications are available by default in Navigator:
[
53
]
JupyterLab
Jupyter Notebook
QtConsole
[
54
]
Spyder
Glue
Orange
RStudio
Visual Studio Code
Conda is an open source,
[
17
]
cross-platform
,
[
18
]
language-agnostic
[
19
]
package manager
and environment management system
[
20
]
[
21
]
[
55
]
that installs, runs, and updates packages and their dependencies.
[
17
]
It was created for Python programs, but it can package and distribute software for any language, including multi-language projects.
[
19
]
The Conda package and environment manager is included in all versions of Anaconda, Miniconda,
[
56
]
and Anaconda Repository.
[
50
]
Anaconda Cloud is a package management service by Anaconda where users can find, access, store and share public and private notebooks, environments, and Conda and PyPI packages.
[
57
]
Cloud hosts useful Python packages, notebooks and environments for a wide variety of applications. Users do not need to log in or to have a Cloud account, to search for public packages, download and install them. Users can build new Conda packages using Conda-build and then use the Anaconda Client CLI to upload packages to Anaconda.org.
[
58
]
Notebooks users can be aided with writing and
debugging
code with Anaconda's AI Assistant.

## Overview
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Overview")\]
**Anaconda distribution** comes with over 300 packages automatically installed, and over 7,500 additional open-source packages can be installed from the Anaconda repository[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-41) as well as the Conda package and [virtual environment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_environment_software "Virtual environment software") manager. It also includes a [GUI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface "Graphical user interface"), **Anaconda Navigator**,[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-I_2024-42) as a graphical alternative to the [command-line interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface "Command-line interface") (CLI).[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-MM_2024-43)
[Conda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conda_\(package_manager\) "Conda (package manager)") was developed to address dependency conflicts native to the [pip package manager](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_\(package_manager\) "Pip (package manager)"), which would automatically install any dependent Python packages without checking for conflicts with previously installed packages[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-J_2018-44) (until its version 20.3, which later implemented consistent dependency resolution).[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-:0-45) The Conda package manager's historical differentiation analyzed and resolved these installation conflicts.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-J_2018-44)
Anaconda is a [distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_distribution "Software distribution") of the [Python](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_\(programming_language\) "Python (programming language)") [programming language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language "Programming language") (and previously also [R](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_\(programming_language\) "R (programming language)")) for [scientific computing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_computing "Scientific computing") ([data science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science "Data science"), [machine learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning "Machine learning") applications, large-scale [data processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_processing "Data processing"), [predictive analytics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_analytics "Predictive analytics"), etc.), that aims to simplify [package management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management "Package management") and [deployment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_environment "Deployment environment"). Anaconda distribution includes data-science packages suitable for [Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows "Microsoft Windows"), [Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux "Linux"), and [macOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS "MacOS").[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-E_2020-12) Other company products include Anaconda Free, and subscription-based Starter, Business and Enterprise.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-theregister.com-10) Anaconda's business tier offers Package Security Manager.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-46)
Package versions in Anaconda are managed by the package management system [Conda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conda_\(package_manager\) "Conda (package manager)"),[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-F_2016-47) which was spun out as a separate [open-source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source "Open source") package as useful both independently and for applications other than Python.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-G_2020-48) There is also a small, [bootstrap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping "Bootstrapping") version of Anaconda called **Miniconda**, which includes only Conda, Python, the packages they depend on, and a small number of other packages.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-H_2018-49)
Open source packages can be individually installed from the Anaconda repository,[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-AnacondaRepo-50) Anaconda Cloud (anaconda.org), or the user's own private repository or mirror, using the `conda install` command. Anaconda, Inc. [compiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler "Compiler") and builds the packages available in the Anaconda [repository](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository_\(version_control\) "Repository (version control)") itself, and provides [binaries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file "Binary file") for [Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows "Microsoft Windows") [32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing "32-bit computing")/[64 bit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing "64-bit computing"), Linux 64 bit and [MacOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS "MacOS") 64-bit (Intel, [Apple Silicon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_silicon "Apple silicon")). Anything available on PyPI may be installed into a Conda environment using pip, and Conda will keep track of what it has installed and what pip has installed.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Custom packages can be made using the `conda build` command, and can be shared with others by uploading them to Anaconda Cloud,[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-AnacondaCloud-51) PyPI or other repositories.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
The default installation of Anaconda2 includes Python 2.7 and Anaconda3 includes Python 3.7. However, it is possible to create new environments that include any version of Python packaged with Conda.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-L_2018-52)

[Conda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conda_\(package_manager\) "Conda (package manager)") was developed to address dependency conflicts native to the [pip package manager](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_\(package_manager\) "Pip (package manager)"), which would automatically install any dependent Python packages without checking for conflicts with previously installed packages[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-J_2018-44) (until its version 20.3, which later implemented consistent dependency resolution).[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-:0-45) The Conda package manager's historical differentiation analyzed and resolved these installation conflicts.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-J_2018-44)
Anaconda is a [distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_distribution "Software distribution") of the [Python](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_\(programming_language\) "Python (programming language)") [programming language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language "Programming language") (and previously also [R](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_\(programming_language\) "R (programming language)")) for [scientific computing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_computing "Scientific computing") ([data science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science "Data science"), [machine learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning "Machine learning") applications, large-scale [data processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_processing "Data processing"), [predictive analytics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_analytics "Predictive analytics"), etc.), that aims to simplify [package management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management "Package management") and [deployment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_environment "Deployment environment"). Anaconda distribution includes data-science packages suitable for [Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows "Microsoft Windows"), [Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux "Linux"), and [macOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS "MacOS").[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-E_2020-12) Other company products include Anaconda Free, and subscription-based Starter, Business and Enterprise.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-theregister.com-10) Anaconda's business tier offers Package Security Manager.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-46)
Package versions in Anaconda are managed by the package management system [Conda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conda_\(package_manager\) "Conda (package manager)"),[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-F_2016-47) which was spun out as a separate [open-source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source "Open source") package as useful both independently and for applications other than Python.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-G_2020-48) There is also a small, [bootstrap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping "Bootstrapping") version of Anaconda called **Miniconda**, which includes only Conda, Python, the packages they depend on, and a small number of other packages.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-H_2018-49)
Open source packages can be individually installed from the Anaconda repository,[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-AnacondaRepo-50) Anaconda Cloud (anaconda.org), or the user's own private repository or mirror, using the `conda install` command. Anaconda, Inc. [compiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler "Compiler") and builds the packages available in the Anaconda [repository](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository_\(version_control\) "Repository (version control)") itself, and provides [binaries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file "Binary file") for [Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows "Microsoft Windows") [32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing "32-bit computing")/[64 bit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing "64-bit computing"), Linux 64 bit and [MacOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS "MacOS") 64-bit (Intel, [Apple Silicon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_silicon "Apple silicon")). Anything available on PyPI may be installed into a Conda environment using pip, and Conda will keep track of what it has installed and what pip has installed.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Custom packages can be made using the `conda build` command, and can be shared with others by uploading them to Anaconda Cloud,[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-AnacondaCloud-51) PyPI or other repositories.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
The default installation of Anaconda2 includes Python 2.7 and Anaconda3 includes Python 3.7. However, it is possible to create new environments that include any version of Python packaged with Conda.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)#cite_note-L_2018-52)
