If you already have installed Anaconda distribution then you don't need to go through step 1. Please follow the package installation instructions in step 2.

Step 1

Please download the setup file for Anaconda (Python 3.7 compatible) via this link <https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2019.10-Linux-x86_64.sh>_.

Make it executable by >> chmod +x Anaconda3-2019.10-Linux-x86_64.sh.

For installing the setup run >> ./Anaconda3-2019.10-Linux-x86_64.sh.

You don't require administrative permissions for intalling this. During installation please choose a working directory of your choice (where you have read/write permission, e.g. ~/anaconda3).

Step 2

Once you are done with this step 1, run the following commands in a new terminal.

>> conda update conda

>> conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib

>> conda install -c conda-forge numpy

>> conda install -c conda-forge sunpy

>> conda install -c anaconda jupyter
