Anaconda does the version control for all those packages, for a given version of Anaconda there is a given version of the packages; it also manage the environment; so is not as easy as simple installing the packages.

This is difficult to achieve as anaconda manages the package versions, and environment; also the packages are quite diverse too manage them individually, and expect them to perform as if you have anaconda can be demanding.

BTW, If you use a PC heavily and install Anaconda, it can easily fall apart.

All the Best.
