4. Run the installer by typing: ./Anaconda3-20xx.xx.x-Linux-x86_64.sh
5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. By default, the installer will install Anaconda in your home directory.
6. When the installation is complete, you will need to update your PATH environment variable to include the Anaconda installation. To do this, open the .bashrc file in your home directory and add the following line at the end of the file: export PATH="/home/your_username/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
