I’m doing an intro course to coding with Python and we’re supposed to install Python and Jupyter, the recommendation is to install Anaconda.

I saw in the software manager that I already have Python3 installed and that it cannot be removed. Can I still install Anaconda additionally or will this fuck things up somehow? Or should I just install Jupyter Notebook?

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m a bit lost :P

    You can install it without issue. There might be an issue if you set it to be your default Python 3 installation but that should be the only potential issue.

    The other commenter isn’t wrong but it might also be better to use Anaconda so your setup better matches what the course expects.
