1. Install Anaconda but don't add it to PATH
2. Install Python and add to PATH during the installation.

Anaconda itself is a Python distribution, but it is not recommended to add it to path. We install Python after our Anaconda installation so that python commands can be executed systemwide, but conda commands only when using conda shell, to prevent any interference with other applications using Python.
