# Anaconda Project

[Anaconda Project](https://anaconda-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) encapsulates data science projects and makes them easily portable. A project makes it easy to reproduce your work and collaborate with other team members. A project automates setup steps such as installing the right packages, downloading files, setting environment variables, and running commands.

Ananconda Project compressed the project directory into a .tar.bz2, .tar.gz or .zip file to make it easier to store and share with others.

Anaconda Server enables you to upload and share Anaconda Project files within a channel. You can move, copy, and share your project with your team or provide authorized users access to the channel.

This topic provides guidance on the following actions:

* [Uploading a project](#uploading-a-project)
* [Downloading a project](#downloading-a-project)
* [Viewing project metadata](#viewing-project-metadata)
* [Managing a project](#managing-a-project)
