Before you begin, note the following requirements and limitations of AstroConda:
- AstroConda supports Linux (glibc ≥ 2.12) and Mac OS X (≥ 10.7; 10.6 is NOT supported)
- - AstroConda packages support Python versions 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5.
+ - AstroConda packages support Python versions 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5 on 64-bit platforms. (If you don't know whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit processor, assume you have 64-bit.)
- If :abbr:`IRAF (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility)` is required as part of your personal workflow it is *highly recommended* you install Anaconda for Python 2.7 (see :ref:`iraf_python3`).
- If you do not use :abbr:`IRAF (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility)`, choose the Anaconda installer with the Python version best suited for your scripting needs.
- This documentation specifically targets Anaconda for Python 3 installations. However, the same commands should still work interchangeably between versions.
