The latest version of Anaconda-Navigator is 1.3 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for the Productivity category. The app is developed by Continuum Analytics, Inc.
This tutorial will help you to install Anaconda for Mac OS.
Anaconda is both a package manager, python distribution and is incredibly useful for data tasks as it comes bundled with many scientific packages including sci-kit learn, SciPy, Pandas and NumPy.
Additionally itโs the recommended method for installing Jupyter Notebooks.
Installing Anaconda
Personally I prefer to install Python via the graphical interface because itโs a friendly and easy method.
1. Firstly visit the Anaconda website where you will have the choice to install either Python 2.7 or Python 3. I would recommend downloading the Python 3x. because this will be more supported in the future.

7. Click on the install button.
8. You will need to enter your password which is the same as your Mac login password. Then click Install Software.
