How to Install Anaconda on ECS

Anaconda is an open source and free distribution of Python and R programming languages used for data science and machine learning related applications. Anaconda helps organizations to develop, manage, and automate AI/ML, regardless of the scale of deployment. It allows organizations to scale from individual data scientists to a collaborative group of data scientists, and from a single server to thousands of nodes for model training and deployment.

In this tutorial, we will be installing and setting up Anaconda Python on an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance with Ubuntu 16.04 installed.
