Question

Can someone please provide detail instructions on how to install Anaconda and how to use Jupyter notebook with it ?

Answer 1

I recommend you use the Anaconda with Python 3.6.  To avoid conflicts, first, remove any other Python distributions you already installed.

You can take a look at the following video tutorials:

Note: If you are installing on Windows, during your installation it asks you if it should be added to your PATH. I highly recommend you add it to the PATH as you can see both of the following boxes should be checked in installation:

If you already installed it and forgot to add it to your path, look at the following video to see how you can add Anaconda to the PATH after installation:
