Sorry, I have no idea what that means.

The anaconda that I know about is the RedHat installer program (which
was originally written in Python, BTW), but I'm guessing that's not
what you're asking about.

I don't understand the question: python is a language, Mint is a Linux
OS distro.  If you can't use your distro's package manager to install
the package you're looking for (see below), then here is how you
install a package from pypi:

I don't know why you would have to create a folder.

If you're running Mint Linux, then your first step is to look to see
if the Mint repositories contain the package you want.

 http://packages.linuxmint.com/
 http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Serena

If Linux Mint doesn't provide the package you want, the the above link
shows how to install packages from from pypi.

If what you want isn't on pypi, then Google is your friend:

https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+mint+anaconda

  https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install-linux
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siov5S0Qzdc

Is that the anaconda you're talking about?

Or is it one of these?

 https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=anaconda&submit=search
