+## Anaconda
+We use Anaconda package manager to install the tools used by OpenRAM. This way, you don't have to
+worry about updating/installing these tools. OpenRAM installs Anaconda silently in the background
+(without affecting any existing anaconda setup you have).
+
+OpenRAM uses Anaconda by default, but you can turn this feature off by setting `use_conda = False`
+in your config file. Then, OpenRAM will use the tools you have installed on your system.
+
+
+
+## Docker (deprecated, use Anaconda instead)
 We have a [docker setup](../../docker) to run OpenRAM. To use this, you should run:
 ```
 cd OpenRAM/docker
