Optional: Emergency Installation

1. Go to the Anaconda Downloads page.

2. Download the file for your platform

3. On Linux or Mac, do:

   bash <downloaded_file>
   

and answer the questions with the default by just pressing <enter>. At the end of the install, you will get a message like:

export PATH=/Users/tom/anaconda/bin:$PATH

Follow these instructions, rehash or open a new terminal, and then test that if you type python, you get a prompt similar to:

Python 2.7.3 |AnacondaCE 1.9.1 (64-bit)| (default, Jan 17 2014, 10:13:17)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)] on linux2

with Anaconda in the first line.

On Windows, double click the .exe file to install.
