Before using Python for data science, you need to install Anaconda. You use the command line to install Anaconda on Linux — there is no graphical installation option. Before you can perform the install, you must download a copy of the Linux software from the Continuum Analytics site. The following procedure should work fine on any Linux system, whether you use the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Anaconda.
