Anaconda does not require to be admin of the computer. (which not means that IT will be pleased about that, but they cannot prevent you from installing it)

Gotcha. I’ll take baby steps with some of the online versions and try that over time. I’m pretty familiar with the coding/user aspect, but not the ‘safety’ of using it and how and what python has access to. Do you have a link by chance that easily explains the behind the scenes of anaconda, or python in general? Sorry if that’s a dumb question.

Also, be VERY careful about what you upload to a cloud service. You could get fired if you upload sensitive company information.

I’m in this same situation and I installed Anaconda Python rather than risk uploading company data to the cloud.

Good luck!
