Install Python#
License and terms of use of Anaconda
Anaconda/Miniconda defaults to installing packages from the Anaconda repositories. There are license restrictions on how to use these. Please carefully read them for your own sake.
The conda provided through our installation guidelines will default
to use the conda-forge channel. However, the Anaconda repositories
are hard-coded in the conda infrastructure as fallback.
Therefore users should be aware, at install time, where the packages originates from.
We are pursuing strategies to completely remove the Anaconda repositories to ensure that employees will not break the terms of service as outlined by Anaconda.
Note that Anaconda is free to use in teaching (as of 2024). For full details of the license, please read them on here.
