Anaconda

Anaconda is the leading open data science platform .The open source version of Anaconda includes over 100 of the most popular Python packages for data science.Additionally, it provides access to over 720 Python and R packages that can easily be installed using the conda dependency and environment manager.

miniconda3 DockerContainer

DockerContainer with bootstrapped installation of Miniconda (based on Python 3.X) .
The Miniconda distribution is installed into the /opt/conda folder.
Use of the library.
You can download and run this image using the following commands:

docker pull continuumio/miniconda3
docker run -i -t continuumio/miniconda3 /bin/bash

You can , for example , start a Jupyter Notebook server and interact with Miniconda via your browser :

docker run -i -t -p 8888:8888 continuumio/miniconda3 /bin/bash -c "\
    conda install jupyter -y --quiet && \
    mkdir -p /opt/notebooks && \
    jupyter notebook \
    --notebook-dir=/opt/notebooks --ip='*' --port=8888 \
    --no-browser --allow-root"

You can then view the Jupyter Notebook by opening the website in your browser or at the website - DOCKER-MACHINE-IP>8888 if you use a Docker.
