Anaconda Python with Python 2.6

Question:

I need to install Anaconda Python on Linux but it has to be Python 2.6 (due to a package dependency). The computer doesn’t have direct internet access although I can transfer files to it via another machine i.e. I can download X using another box and then transfer the file. This is how I have been pip installing packages

So my question is, how can I install Anaconda Python with Python 2.6 without direct internet access?

Maybe using an old Anaconda version but I don’t know which one.

Answers:

Anaconda provides an installer file, which is to say it provides a script file anaconda-PYTHON_VERSION.sh which can be downloaded on any machine for any version. You don’t have to be on Linux to download the Linux Install file. Just like you don’t need access to the internet on the machine you want to install Anaconda on.

Here’s the link: Python 3.5 and Python 2.7

You can directly use this for 64-bit Python 2.7 Install.sh

From the docs: Anaconda supports Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 only.
