  PART 1 

 Getting Started

6. 

Choose an installation location (if necessary) and then click Next.

You see the Advanced Installation Options, shown in Figure 3-4. These options 

are selected by default, and no good reason exists to change them in most 

cases. You might need to change them if Anaconda won’t provide your default 

Python 3.5 (or Python 2.7) setup. However, the book assumes that you’ve set 

up Anaconda using the default options.

7. 

Change the advanced installation options (if necessary) and then click 

Install.

You see an Installing dialog box with a progress bar. The installation process 

can take a few minutes, so get yourself a cup of coffee and read the comics 

for a while. When the installation process is over, you see a Next button 

enabled.

8. 

Click Next.

The wizard tells you that the installation is complete.
