I have the latest python 3.10 installed with all the require packages. Apparently, folium codes don’t open world map unless I got Jupyter notebook. The Python is a separate installation. I just got Anaconda 3 installed and I don’t know how to link my separately installed python with Anaconda 3.

Do I have to install all the packages again in anaconda?

Hi @lau_kevin and welcome!

I’m not quite following why you’re mentioning `folium`, could you explain why in more details?

It seems from your post that you’ve installed Python 3.10 on its own on your laptop and installed packages (I assume with `pip`) and that you’ve separately installed Anaconda. If so I believe you will indeed have to reinstall for Anaconda the packages you already installed for the first Python distribution. To do so you could create a virtual environment with the Python version you require and the packages by running the following from the command line: `conda create -n yourenvname python=3.10 package1 package2 ...`.

So basically I don’t really need the python separate and uninstall the original python.

[Quickstart — Folium 0.12.1 documentation (python-visualization.github.io)](https://python-visualization.github.io/folium/quickstart.html)

I’m talking about Folium package to create world map without using Juypter notebook or is that not possible?

Folium allows you to save a map as an HTML file so yes I believe you could create a world map without using Jupyter notebook.
