"Anaconda" is huge; conda is not.  You can get conda
by installing "Miniconda":

https://conda.io/miniconda.html

The 64-bit bash Miniconda installer for Linux, for example, is
about 28 MB, and includes just Python (either 2 or 3) with
conda and its dependencies, and includes pip in case you want
to use a package that is not yet available in the conda
package channels -- 'pip install' works in a conda environment.

(The only reason to install Anaconda, which includes over 100
scientific Python packages, is if you are developing an app
that requires a lot of Numpy or SciPy libraries.)
