System requirements#

  • 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 Miniconda installers in our archive that might work for you.

  • 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”).

  • Minimum 400 MB disk space to download and install.

On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Miniconda for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. However, if you need to, you can install Miniconda system wide, which does require administrator permissions.
