+# Conda (Anaconda)
+
+Conda is an open source package management system and environment management system that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Conda quickly installs, runs and updates packages and their dependencies. Conda easily creates, saves, loads and switches between environments on your local computer. It was created for Python programs, but it can package and distribute software for any language.
+
+Conda as a package manager helps you find and install packages. If you need a package that requires a different version of Python, you do not need to switch to a different environment manager, because conda is also an environment manager. With just a few commands, you can set up a totally separate environment to run that different version of Python, while continuing to run your usual version of Python in your normal environment.
+
+Conda treats Python the same as any other package, so it is easy to manage and update multiple installations.
+Anaconda supports Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. The default is Python 2.7 or 3.6, depending on which installer you used:
+
+ * For the installers “Anaconda” and “Miniconda,” the default is 2.7.
+ * For the installers “Anaconda3” or “Miniconda3,” the default is 3.6.
+
+## Conda on the IT4Innovations Clusters
+
+On the clusters we have the Anaconda2 and Anaconda3 software installed. How to use these modules is shown below.
+
+!!! note
+    Use the command `ml av conda` to get up-to-date versions of the modules.
+
+```console
+~]$ ml av conda
