1. First go to https://www.anaconda.com/download and click Free Download

2. Click on the download button for your computer's OS

3. Run the installer

4.Choose to install for all users

14. Copy and paste the following code to test everything is running correctly:

import numpy as np

import scipy as sci

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

a = np.arange(15).reshape(3, 5)

print(a)

print(sci.constants.c)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

fruits = ['apple', 'blueberry', 'cherry', 'orange']

counts = [40, 100, 30, 55]

bar_labels = ['red', 'blue', '_red', 'orange']

bar_colors = ['tab:red', 'tab:blue', 'tab:red', 'tab:orange']

ax.bar(fruits, counts, label=bar_labels, color=bar_colors)

ax.set_ylabel('fruit supply')

ax.set_title('Fruit supply by kind and color')

ax.legend(title='Fruit color')

plt.show()

The result should look like this:
