To be honest I've only used conda (the package manager) from the command line, so I really don't know what installing Leo's dependencies looks like to a non-command line user. I think Anaconda and miniconda might differ in that respect, I know Anaconda installs some sort of dashboard / point and click package management front end that I think is absent from miniconda. Definitions: conda: a package manager miniconda: a minimal Python install using conda. Intended use is deployment of isolated Python environments with different sets of dependencies: https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html Anaconda: a large ecosystem of scientific analysis software (including Jupyter notebooks and the Spyder Python IDE) deployed using conda. >From a non-command line perspective I wonder if Anaconda really just channels people into Jupyter/Spyder - probably just a matter of time before we spend a week trying to understand a bug before we realize the user has confused Spyder and Leo :-) But I guess we can label miniconda "just works" if we link to clear step by step instructions for using it on Leo's web page.
