How Can I Download Anaconda for Python 3.6

I was working on Tensorflow object detection project, for this I am using Anaconda 3 with python 3.7 but I am facing some issues while running object detection demo, I read couple of posts here on stackoverflow and found that it can be solved by using Anaconda with python 3.6 but this version is not available at Anaconda's download page, there are only two versions i.e for Python 3.7 and Python 2.7 but I need for Python 3.6.

Any help would be great.

As suggested here, with an installation of the last anaconda you can create an environment just like Cleb explained or downgrade python :

conda install python=3.6.0

With this second solution, you may encounter some incompatibility issues with other packages. I tested it myself and did not encounter any issue but I guess it depends on the packages you installed.

If you don't want to handle environments or face incompatibilities issues, you can download any Anaconda version here: . For example, Anaconda3-5.1.0-XXX or Anaconda3-5.2.0-XXX provides python 3.6 (the suffix XXX depends on your OS).

To know which python is provided in an anaconda package, you can visit the Release notes page. It provides the updates for the all anaconda versions. Find yours and look for the line

python A.B.C -> X.Y.Z

where A.B.C is the previous version and X.Y.Z is the updated python version.
