How to install Anaconda3 on Ubuntu 18.04

Anaconda refers to an open source Python distribution, which contains more than 180 scientific packages such as conda and Python and their dependencies. Because it contains a large number of scientific packages, the download file of Anaconda is relatively large (approximately 531 MB). If you only need certain packages, or need to save bandwidth or storage space, you can also use Miniconda, a smaller release version (only conda and Python).
