I just got myself ST3 and followed some tutorials, all of which recommended to install Anaconda via the ST3 package control:
CTRL+SHIFT+P -> "install" -> "anaconda_go". I then tried to use the packages that come with anaconda (i.e. NumPy) through:

import numpy as np

This results in:

NameError: name 'numpy' is not defined

Turns out that the Continuum analytics package I wanted called Anaconda is not the one I got (the ST3 extension). So I instead got myself:
CTRL+SHIFT+P -> "install" -> "conda".
But again, I am unable to use the packages that come with it, like Numpy.
How can I use the packages that come with the conda installer?

    So, it doesn't make sense to me that you would use ST3 package control to install Anaconda. ST3 package control is for controlling *SublimeText plugins*, and Anaconda is a Python distribution, not a Python package anyway. When I looked up "anaconda_go" and "sublime text" I got a hit for some [Go-Lang lineter](https://github.com/DamnWidget/anaconda_go) and a beefy [Python IDE extension for sublime](https://github.com/DamnWidget/anaconda) which doesn't seem to be related to the Anaconda distribution. You should just use the Anaconda installer from the website... – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 10 '17 at 22:15

    Note, even the tags "anaconda" and "sublime-anaconda" on StackOverflow are for totally unrelated things. – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 10 '17 at 22:16
  • Hence the title! There are two things called Anaconda related to python: the ST3 IDE extension and the Continuum Analytics package distribution. I got confused! My question is: How can I get the Continuum Analytics Anaconda to work with my ST3? – Douglas James Bock Jul 10 '17 at 22:32
  • Well, it begins with downloading the Anaconda *python* distribution. Then pointing your SublimeText to that interpreter. Again, Anaconda is a whole *distribution* that inlcudes an interpreter. – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 10 '17 at 22:36
  • It seems to me, however, that I should be able to set up the anaconda distribution from within ST3... [Anaconda with ST3](https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/integration/sublime) – Douglas James Bock Jul 10 '17 at 22:39
  • No, that doesn't make *any sense at all*. ST3 is a text editor. If it has a package management system, it would be for ST3 packages. Why would it work with Anaconda, the Python distribution, that doesn't have anything to do with ST3? – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 10 '17 at 22:40
  • Refer to link in previous comment. What I overlooked was that the conda ST3 package already requires an Anaconda installation in the default install path. Should be all sorted now. – Douglas James Bock Jul 10 '17 at 22:48
