- Select `Anaconda3-2021.05-MacOSX-x86_64.pkg` at the bottom to download
- After downloading, double click on the .pkg file to enter the graphical interface
- Just follow the default settings, it will take a while to install
- It is recommended to install a code editor such as vscode or pycharm
#### 1.2.2 Open a terminal and create a conda environment
- Open the terminal
- Press command and spacebar at the same time, type "terminal" in the focus search, double click to enter terminal
-**Add conda to the environment variables**
- Environment variables are added so that the system can recognize the conda command
- Open `~/.bash_profile` in the terminal by typing the following command.
```shell
vim ~/.bash_profile
```
- Add conda as an environment variable in `~/.bash_profile`.
```shell
# Press i first to enter edit mode
# In the first line type.
export PATH="~/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
# If you customized the installation location during installation, change ~/opt/anaconda3/bin to the bin folder in the customized installation directory
```
```shell
# The modified ~/.bash_profile file should look like this (where xxx is the username)
export PATH="~/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !!! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!!
- When you are done, press `esc` to exit edit mode, then type `:wq!` and enter to save and exit
- Verify that the conda command is recognized.
- Enter `source ~/.bash_profile` in the terminal to update the environment variables
- Enter `conda info --envs` in the terminal again, if it shows that there is a base environment, then conda has been added to the environment variables
- Create a new conda environment
```shell
# Enter the following command at the command line to create an environment called paddle_env
# Here to speed up the download, use Tsinghua source
The above anaconda environment and python environment are installed

### 1.3 Linux
Linux users can choose to run either Anaconda or Docker. If you are familiar with Docker and need to train the PaddleOCR model, it is recommended to use the Docker environment, where the development process of PaddleOCR is run. If you are not familiar with Docker, you can also use Anaconda to run the project.
#### 1.3.1 Anaconda environment configuration
- Note: To use paddlepaddle you need to install the python environment first, here we choose the python integrated environment Anaconda toolkit
- Anaconda is a common python package manager
- After installing Anaconda, you can install the python environment, as well as numpy and other required toolkit environment
- When you are done, press `esc` to exit edit mode, then type `:wq!` and enter to save and exit
- Verify that the conda command is recognized.
- Enter `source ~/.bash_profile` in the terminal to update the environment variables
- Enter `conda info --envs` in the terminal again, if it shows that there is a base environment, then conda has been added to the environment variables
- Create a new conda environment
```shell
# Enter the following command at the command line to create an environment called paddle_env
# Here to speed up the download, use Tsinghua source
For more software version requirements, please refer to the instructions in [Installation Document](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/install/quick) for operation.
