Using older versions of Anaconda Distribution#

Older versions of Anaconda Distribution are still available for 32-bit Windows, 32-bit Linux (Intel and AMD x86), and 64-bit Linux (IBM Power CPU architecture), but these installations are no longer supported by Anaconda and most are no longer receiving security updates.

Caution

Anaconda recommends upgrading your operating system to the latest available or to one that is commonly used and supported. Upgrading your OS allows you to get the latest packages, performance improvements, bug fixes, etc.

Anaconda Distribution is currently available for 64-bit Windows, macOS (Intel x86 and Apple Silicon), and 64-bit Linux (x86_64 CPU, AWS Graviton 2/ARM 64, and IBM Z architectures).

To use Anaconda on older operating systems:

  1. Use the table below to identify the latest version of Anaconda Distribution that should be used with your chosen operating system version.

    Note

    Older versions of Anaconda Distribution are still subject to Anaconda’s Terms of Service.

  2. Follow Anaconda Distribution’s install instructions for your major operating system.

Caution

You will not be able to use conda to update or install packages beyond the Anaconda version noted in the table below, unless you limit those packages to versions available at the time that particular version of Anaconda was released. For package lists for each version of Anaconda Distribution, see the Anaconda Distribution release notes.
