Hi Josh,
Yes, please do let me know if it works on your old workstation. That will
simplify the learner’s part. Our python lesson is in the afternoon so I’ll
have to time to sort it out with them in the morning.
Thanks,
Cam

Hi Cam,
I have an old machine that still running 10.6.8, and although I haven’t powered
it up since early June, I seem to remember running a fairly recent version of
Anaconda (2.0 or 2.1) on it without issue. I remember reading that the Anaconda
installer gives this warning about only supporting newer versions of OSX, but I
don’t remember it being a problem.
Before using, what is now, an outdated version of Anaconda, if possible I would
check with the learner if they could attempt to download the newest version of
Anaconda and check that it works. I’m not sure if that’s feasible in terms of
asking them to start up an ipython notebook.
I can try turning on my old workstation tonight and grabbing the newest
anaconda and then loading up a few of the lesson notebooks though and see if
they work myself. That might avoid the issue of asking the learner to validate
their own environment.

Hello,
I have a learner who has emailed ahead of a workshop that they have OS X 10.6.8
(Snow Leopard). The Anaconda installer says it is for OS X 10.7 and above. I
had a quick look but couldn’t find older releases of Anaconda.
Does anyone happen to know if Anaconda will work on older versions of OS X? I
don’t have an OS X of that vintage to test myself.
Thanks,
Cam
