Manual Miniconda Installation

Installing Miniconda consists of two steps, the actual miniconda installation and setting up the .condarc file.

  1. Download Miniconda (any Python 3.x 64bit version) and install it into the default installation directory.

    • If your user name does NOT include whitespace: During installation select Just Me and do not change the Destination Folder (%USERPROFILE%\miniconda3).

    • If your user name does include whitespace: During installation select Just Me and change the Destination Folder to C:\miniconda3.

    • Unselect Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.x when prompted.

    The installation is illustrated in the figure below.

    Note

    • If any Miniconda x64 version with a Python version greater than 3.x is already installed in the indicated directory, this step can be skipped.
