If you already have a conda installation, directly go to step 3:

1. Download and install miniconda for Python 2.7, 32 or 64 bit depending on your system:

http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html

select **yes** to add conda to the **PATH** variable.

For Windows users, who do not know what to choose for 32 or 64 bit, it is strongly
recommended to read the second question of this FAQ first:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows


Run the installer and select **yes** to add conda to the **PATH** variable.

2. If you have installed from a Linux shell, either open a new shell to have an updated PATH,
or update your PATH variable by ``source ~/.bashrc`` (or .tcsh, .csh - whichever shell you are using).

* Q: I'm using Windows, have a fresh Anaconda installation and I get strange errors
during "import xyz".

A: Possible answer 1: you have probably mixed 32 and 64 bit. Using 32 bit Python
on 64 bit Windows is fine, but not the other way around.
Possible answer 2: Do you have Python2 and Python3 on the same computer?
To figure that you, open a cmd prompt and type in::

where python
"X:\somepath\miniconda2\Scripts\python.exe"

This should only display one line like. If it is displaying more than one .exe,
you either know what you are doing or you should remove one installation (eg. decide,
which branch of Python [2 or 3] to keep).
