Anaconda Individual Edition contains conda and Anaconda Navigator, as well as Python and hundreds of scientific packages.
Conda works on your command line interface such as Anaconda Prompt on Windows and terminal on MacOS and Linux.
Navigator is a desktop graphical user interface that allows you to launch applications and easily manage conda packages, environments, and channels without using command-line commands.
Anaconda Navigator can be connected to the community portal Anaconda Nucleus in order to securely store local environments in the cloud.

On Windows, MacOS, and Linux, it is best to install Anaconda for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. However, if you need to, you can install Anaconda system wide, which does require administrator permissions.
You do not need to uninstall other Python installations or packages before installing Anaconda.
