Anaconda installation instructions

Warning: do NOT install anaconda on Thinlinc hosts, as .bashrc will be modified and TL session can no longer be started. Additionally, installing Anaconda in your ThinLinc home takes too much disk space and you'd exceed your storage quota. So:

-> Install Anaconda only on your personal computer.
