Silent mode installation allows Anaconda Distribution to be installed automatically without user interaction, making it ideal for automated deployments, enterprise environments, or when installing across multiple machines. When launching the installer in silent mode, you can supply the installation arguments detailed below through your command line interface (CLI) or with a script.
Download Anaconda Distribution manually from one of the links above or use curl -O to download via your CLI.
curl -O https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2025.06-0-Windows-x86_64.exe
To run the Windows installer for Anaconda in silent mode, use the /S argument. The following optional arguments are supported:
  • /InstallationType=[JustMe|AllUsers]—Default is JustMe.
  • /AddToPath=[0|1]—Default is 0.
  • /RegisterPython=[0|1]—Make this installer’s Python the system’s default Python. Default is 0.
  • /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:
start /wait "" Anaconda3-2025.06-0-Windows-x86_64.exe /InstallationType=JustMe /RegisterPython=0 /S /D=%UserProfile%Anaconda3
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.
