## Conda (Miniconda or Anaconda)
|
||||
|
||||
Freqtrade can also be installed with Miniconda or Anaconda.
|
||||
Conda is a package manager and virtual environment manager in one.
|
||||
The purpose of installing Conda (Miniconda or Anaconda) is to automatically prepare and manage the extensive library dependencies of the Freqtrade program.

Freqtrade can also be installed with Miniconda or Anaconda. Conda (Miniconda or Anaconda) would automatically prepare and manage the extensive library-dependencies of the Freqtrade program.

You can start with any clean distribution of Debian-based Linux distributions, which includes Ubuntu Linux.

||||
For other popular Linux distributions, see: https://distrowatch.com/ or https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-debian-based-linux-distributions/

##### What is Conda?
|
||||
|
||||
Installation requirement: Your Linux is a Debian based distribution with bash terminal
|
||||
It is (1) Package, (2) dependency and (3) environment management for any language : https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/index.html

It is recommended to install Miniconda, not Anaconda. The difference between both lies in the amount of packages that would be installed upfront. Difference is at least like 1:8.

The difference lies in the number of packages that need to be installed upfront: how heavy/light the installation is. Difference is like ~1:8. It is recommended to install Miniconda instead of Anaconda.

#### 1. Instal Conda
|
||||
|
||||
##### Download conda file:

Confirm with `yes` all questions. After installation, it is mandatory to turn your terminal OFF and ON again.

|
||||
|
||||
##### Verify file integrity with SHA256 checksum:
|
||||
|
||||
official SHA256 checksum can be found here
|
||||
|
||||
https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda_hashes.html
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to the directory with your file, and run SHA256 checksum of your file, check with following command
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sha256sum ./Miniconda3-number-of-the-package
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
both checksum suppose to match

||||
##### Install conda:
|
||||
|
||||
While in directory with your file, install conda
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash ./Miniconda3-number-of-the-package
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
Confirm with yes all questions

After installation, it is mandatory to turn your terminal OFF and ON again.

Conda as a package manager can download new packages from "channels". The best developed Conda channel, is not the default channel and is called `conda-forge`. The code below switches to it.
