- [Using Navigator](https://hs764.gitbook.io/cee-5735/anaconda/managing-conda-environments/using-navigator.md): Anaconda Navigator is a graphical user interface (included in your installation of Anaconda) that lets you to access applications and manage conda environments without using Terminal.
- [Using Terminal](https://hs764.gitbook.io/cee-5735/anaconda/managing-conda-environments/using-terminal.md): Alternatively, conda environments can managed using Terminal. In fact, everything on the GUI can be done with command lines. If you don't feel comfortable with this, you can use Anaconda Navigator.

- [Jupyter Notebook](https://hs764.gitbook.io/cee-5735/anaconda/jupyter-notebook.md): Jupyter notebook is a web application for developing, documenting, & sharing code. It's become pretty popular among data scientists for visualizing & analyzing datasets, but there's some limitations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hs764.gitbook.io/cee-5735/anaconda.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
