    <blockquote> <p>Q1: Is Conda only able to install certain modules, as opposed to all valid python modules?</p> </blockquote> <p>If I understood your question correct, then it is along the lines "How do I get access to all the Anaconda packages"?</p> <p><strong>A:</strong> You go online (!), open your cmd.exe or shell and type:</p> <p><code>conda update conda</code>. </p> <p>Hit <code>y+enter</code> when prompted. When the installer is done, you type:</p> <p><code>conda update anaconda</code>.</p> <p>If you get an error in that process, then I would guess your $PATH$ variable needs a check. Google this problem, or <code>cd</code> into the anaconda folder and try again. If it still fails, then try downloading the anaconda package from <a href="http://continuum.io/downloads" rel="nofollow">http://continuum.io/downloads</a> and install it again and press <code>Y</code> when prompted to setup Anaconda as default python.</p> <blockquote> <p>Q2: What is binstar?</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>A:</strong> A package manager. I don't think you need it.</p> <blockquote> <p>Q3: What do I have to do, if anything, to a normal python module in order to make it "Conda-ready," so to speak?</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>A:</strong> Nothing. You can just run it from the IPython GUI using <code>%run MyScript.py</code></p> <p><a href="http://www.packtpub.com/article/ten-ipython-essentials" rel="nofollow">Here is an example</a>: Let's write the following Python script in a file called script.py:</p> <pre><code>print("Running script.") x = 12 print("'x' is now equal to {0:d}.".format(x)) </code></pre> <p>Now, assuming we are in the directory where this file is located, we can execute it in IPython by entering the following command:</p> <pre><code>In [1]: %run script.py Running script. 'x' is now equal to 12. In [2]: x Out[2]: 12 </code></pre> <p>When running the script, the standard output of the console displays any print statement. At the end of execution, the x variable defined in the script is then included in the interactive namespace, which is quite convenient.</p> <blockquote> <p>Q4: Once I have downloaded a python module from SourceForge or GitHub or wherever, how can I ask Conda to install that module from the source files / binary on my computer (without having to connect to the internet)?</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>A:</strong> I don't download anything from anywhere manually. If you have to you can use <code>pip</code> or <code>easy_install</code> when absolute necessary, but before you experiment with these functions, <strong>please start by checking the Anaconda docs</strong> <a href="http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/pkg-docs.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. There are plenty of packages, and I would be surprised if they do not cover your needs.</p>
