Conda is a cross-platform, Python-agnostic binary package manager. It is the package manager used by Anaconda installations, but it may be used for other systems as well. Conda makes environments first-class citizens, making it easy to create independent environments even for C libraries. Conda is written entirely in Python, and is BSD licensed open source.

Summary

Conda is a cross-platform, Python-agnostic binary package manager. It is the package manager used by Anaconda installations, but it may be used for other systems as well. Conda makes environments first-class citizens, making it easy to create independent environments even for C libraries. Conda is written entirely in Python, and is BSD licensed open source.

Description

This is a community-maintained package. It is not maintained by or affiliated with Anaconda, Inc.

Conda is a cross-platform, Python-agnostic binary package manager. Miniconda is the minimal distribution that ships conda and Python and nothing else, so you build the environment you want rather than removing what you do not.

This package downloads Anaconda’s official Windows x86_64 installer at install time directly from repo.anaconda.com, verifies it against the SHA256 Anaconda publishes beside the file, and installs it silently.

By default, this installation:

will not add miniconda python to path,
will register miniconda python as the default python3
will install for all users
will install in your $ToolsDir\miniconda3 ($ToolsDir is the path returned by Get-ToolsLocation) default is C:\Tools\

You can provide parameters for the install. Example: choco install miniconda3 --params="'/AddToPath:1'"

/InstallationType:[AllUsers|JustMe]
/AddToPath:[0|1]
/RegisterPython:[0|1]
/D:(installation path)
/Force

Upgrading replaces the installation. Miniconda’s installer will not write over an existing one, so an upgrade removes it first. If the installation directory contains conda environments they would go with it, so the upgrade stops and lists them instead. Export or move those environments, or pass /Force to upgrade anyway. Environments kept outside the installation directory are unaffected.

Anaconda Terms of Service. Conda 26.x requires each user to accept Anaconda’s Terms of Service for the defaults channels once after installing. Until accepted, conda create, conda install, and conda update fail with CondaToSNonInteractiveError. Run these three commands once:

conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r
conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2

This is Anaconda’s requirement, not the package’s. It does not apply to installs that use only conda-forge.

This package tracks the Python 3.13 series. Anaconda publishes a separate Windows installer per Python series, so the package follows one deliberately rather than whichever was built most recently. Windows builds are 64-bit only; 32-bit was dropped upstream after 4.12.0.
