Installing with silent mode
When installing in silent mode, you can supply additional arguments to the install command through your command line interface (CLI) or via script. Silent mode installation can be useful when deploying Anaconda Distribution to many clients, as the installation can be completed automatically without the user needing to manually select options in an installer wizard GUI or within the CLI itself.
Download Anaconda Distribution manually from one of the links above or use curl -O to download via your CLI.
To run the Windows installer for Anaconda in silent mode, use the /S argument. The following optional arguments are supported:
/InstallationType=[JustMe|AllUsers]—Default isJustMe./AddToPath=[0|1]—Default is0./RegisterPython=[0|1]—Make this the system’s default Python. Default is0./S—Install in silent mode./D=<installation path>—Destination installation path. Must be the last argument. Do not wrap in quotation marks. Required if installing in silent mode.
All arguments are case-sensitive.
For example, the following batch file command installs Anaconda Distribution for the current user without registering Python as the system’s default:
As of Anaconda Distribution 2022.05, the option to add Anaconda to the PATH environment variable during an All Users installation has been disabled. This was done to address a security exploit. You can still add Anaconda to the PATH environment variable during a Just Me installation.

To run the silent installation of Miniconda for macOS or Linux, specify the -b and -p arguments of the bash installer. The following arguments are supported:
-b—Batch mode with no PATH modifications to~/.bashrc. Assumes that you agree to the license agreement. Does not edit the.bashrcor.bash_profilefiles.-p—Installation prefix/path.-f—Force installation even if the installation prefix/path already exists.
For example, the following batch file command installs Anaconda Distribution for the current user without registering Python as the system’s default:
The installer will not prompt you for anything, including setup of your shell to activate conda. To add this activation in your current shell session:
With this activated shell, install conda’s shell functions for easier access in the future:
If you’d prefer that conda’s base environment not be activated on startup, set the auto_activate_base parameter to false:
