+# How to install Anaconda on Ubuntu 20.4
+~ Sarath Kamal | Basis of learning, Task-1
+
+**1. Download the anaconda package for linux through-** [anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux)
+
+**2. This step is optional-**
+- [Verify data integrity with sha-256](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/hashes/) - on this website look for the hash code for the specific anaconda package you just downloaded. In my case, I searched for 'Anaconda3-2022.05-Linux-x86_64.sh'
+- Now go to your ubuntu terminal and type
+```sh
+sha256sum /path/filename
+``` 
+- this will generate hash code for your package.
+- in my case, it was-
+```sh
+sha256sum ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-2022.05-Linux-x86_64.sh
+```
+- Now match the hash code generated with that on the website you searched on. It should be the same
+
+**3. Install Ananconda-** 
+```sh
+bash /path/filename
+```
+- in my case it was-
+```sh
+bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-2022.05-Linux-x86_64.sh
+```
+- Nicee! you are almost done- just press enter to view the license and type yes for all the propmts coming up during the installation. Going with defaults is recommended.
+- close the terminal and open it again
+
+**4. Open anaconda navigator to play with it!**
+```sh 
+anaconda-navigator
+```
