So if I install those packages using ‘python3 -m pip install’, I have an
equivalent environment that can behave correctly in a tutorial that
assumes Anaconda?

That confuses me. Is that a list of the packages to install in order to
have an Anaconda environment?

Or is it a list of packages *available for* Anaconda?

I'm trying to have an environment, by installing operating system
packages and PyPI packages, that will perform correctly in a tutorial
that assumes I have Anaconda.

The reason to prefer operating system packages and PyPI is that those
will not make arbitrary changes on my computer, and they can be reversed
knowing that the package and its effects are gone from the environment.
