A few years back I made the mistake of allowing Anaconda to prepend it&#x27;s path to .bashrc without realizing it.  I was a bit of a novice back then, but I had a number of existing projects in virtualenvs on my system and was rather upset when everything stopped working because my default python had changed.  For those out there that would like to test out Anaconda but already have a lot of projects using their default installation, I would recommend using this installation guide to keep things separate:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;giusedroid.blogspot.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;dont-let-anaconda-eat-your-python.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;giusedroid.blogspot.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;dont-let-anaconda-eat...</a>
