Use the following instructions if you want to download Qiskit on your system.

1. Open the following this link to install Anaconda distribution:

2. Open the installer package and follow the instructions. Make sure to select Jupyter notebook among the programs to be downloaded when asked during the installation process.

3. Next we need to download the qiskit package (library). For this we open terminal on mac or Linux or the anaconda prompt installed with Anaconda if you have windows.

4. Enter the following commands one by one in the terminal:

• conda create -n ENV_NAME python=3

• conda activate ENV_NAME

• pip install qiskit[visualization]

For mac write pip install 'qiskit[visualization]' instead of the above command.

• conda list

Check the list of programs and see if qiskit is there. If so, we are done, Qiskit is now installed.
