The Anaconda Python distribution for package management and deployment

Anaconda is a distribution for package management and deployment. It facilitates the development of scientific computing and machine learning through Python and R (a programming language focused on statistical computing). Anaconda simplifies the process of managing various packages and also their deployment. The Anaconda repository maintains more than 1,000 professionally built packages for data science.

It has a package management system called conda to install various scientific packages. It also provides a build feature for building your own Python packages and uploading them to Anaconda servers. conda can be used for installing, executing, and also updating packages, along with their dependencies. It can facilitate software for any language, even though it was made for Python packages.
