Do I need to uninstall my current Python distribution (3.7) to install Anaconda?

[Tim]

Hi there,
I'm was advised to install Python-Anaconda distribution for some code to implement. My current distribution of python is the default one from python.org. (version 3.7

Do I need to uninstall the current version in order to install Anaconda distribution?

Also, I'm using PyCharm as an editor, is it okay to keep it, or do I need to install it as well?

P.S. My O.S. is Windows 10

Thanks,

No it stand alone and not do interfere with python.org 3.7 installation.
Have a tutorial here about Anaconda.
For Windows Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows.
You have to choose which shall be main version in Environment Variables Path,get question about Path when install Anaconda.
I have python.org 3.7 set in Path.

C:\
λ python -V
Python 3.7.0
 
C:\
λ pip -V
pip 10.0.1 from c:\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)

Anaconda has own Prompt or can just access from installation folder.

G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
λ conda -V
conda 4.5.4

G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
λ pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from G:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages (python 3.6)

G:\Anaconda3\Scripts
λ cd ..

G:\Anaconda3
λ python -V
Python 3.6.5 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)

G:\Anaconda3
λ
