## Anaconda Installers

Anaconda provides two installers. Both include conda and full access to the [Anaconda package repository](https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/).

- **[Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/concepts/anaconda-or-miniconda#anaconda-distribution)** includes Anaconda Navigator and over 600 pre-installed packages for data science and AI workflows. It is designed for users who want a complete, ready-to-use environment on day one.
- **[Miniconda](https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/concepts/anaconda-or-miniconda#miniconda)** includes only conda, Python, and a small set of essential packages. It is designed for users who know what they need and prefer to keep their installation minimal.

For a detailed comparison, see [Anaconda Distribution vs. Miniconda](https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/concepts/anaconda-or-miniconda).
