How to install conda, anaconda or miniconda

[#1]

Following steps will help you install miniconda, conda or anaconda using wget.

1. Locate the version you need to install by opening the following link on your browser

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/

for example lets say you decided to use https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

2. Download the installer

yum install wget bzip2
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

3. Run the installer and follow the steps

chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

Note: I recommend to select an install location like /opt/miniconda3 or similar that can be shared and used by different users

@Felix Albani

can you please extend the instructions to cover the following:
1) How to integrate minidconda with HDP - Spark2 and Zeppelin. For a fact, we need to use python 3.4.x so it works with spark2 in HDP.

I have now installed miniconda via the SSH of HDP, what are the next steps to use the miniconda version within spark2 environment in zeppelin. ?

@Victor I've created an article on this: https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/194077/how-to-configure-zeppelin-pyspark-interpret...
