PrintThere are many Python packages available for use, and there are a couple of different ways to effectively manage (install, uninstall, update) packages. The two package managers that are commonly used are pip and conda. In the following sections, we will discuss each of them in more detail. At the end of the section, we will discuss the merits of the two tools and make recommendations for their use.
We will be doing some more complicated technical "stuff" here so the steps might not work as planned because everyone’s PC is configured a little differently. For this section, it is probbaly best to just review it and know that if you needed to perform these steps, you can refer to the process to get you started. Anaconda environments can take days to install and get working. Installation of Anaconda is not required, but included for review and if you want to try it, I suggest referring to it at a later date.
