System requirements#

As of 2024-10-21

  • License: Free for individuals and small organizations (<200 employees). A paid license is required for larger organizations and anyone embedding or mirroring Anaconda. See the TOS for details.

  • Operating system: Windows 10 or later, 64-bit macOS 10.15+ (for Intel) or 64-bit macOS 11.1+ (for Apple Silicon), or Linux, including Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS 7+, and others.

  • If your operating system is older than what is currently supported, you can find older versions of the Anaconda installers in our archive that might work for you. See Using Anaconda on older operating systems for version recommendations.

  • System architecture: Windows - 64-bit x86; MacOS - 64-bit x86 or Apple Silicon (ARM64); Linux - 64-bit x86, 64-bit aarch64 (AWS Graviton2), or s390x (Linux on IBM Z & LinuxONE).

  • The linux-aarch64 Miniconda installer requires glibc >=2.26 and thus will not work with CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, or Debian 9 (“stretch”).

  • The linux-aarch64 package builds might not be compatible with certain Raspberry Pi setups, as Anaconda uses compiler options that target the server-class Neoverse N1/N2 microarchitecture.

  • Minimum 5 GB disk space to download and install.

Note

It is best practice to install Anaconda Distribution for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. However, if you have administrator permissions, you can install Anaconda Distribution system-wide.
