In computing, a system image is a serialized copy of the entire state of a computer system stored in some non-volatile form, such as a binary executable file.. If a system has all its state written to a disk (i.e. on a disk image), then a system image can be produced by copying the disk to a file elsewhere, often with disk cloning applications.

Anaconda, Inc. compiles and builds the packages available in the Anaconda repository itself, and provides binaries for Windows 32/64 bit, Linux 64 bit and MacOS 64-bit (Intel, Apple Silicon). Anything available on PyPI may be installed into a Conda environment using pip, and Conda will keep track of what it has installed and what pip has installed.
Most optical disc authoring utilities create a disc image and copy it to the disc in one bundled operation, so that end-users often do not know the distinction between creating and burning. However, it is useful to know because creating the disc image is a time-consuming process, while copying the image is much faster.
Disk cloning is the process of duplicating all data on a digital storage drive, such as a hard disk or solid state drive, using hardware or software techniques. [1] Unlike file copying, disk cloning also duplicates the filesystems , partitions , drive meta data and slack space on the drive. [ 2 ]
A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
A system installer is the software that is used to set up and install an operating system onto a device. Windows Setup is the system installer of Microsoft Windows. Examples of Linux system installers: Anaconda: used by CentOS, Fedora; Calamares: used by multiple Linux distributions (incl. some Ubuntu flavors, Debian, and derivates)
Conda is an open-source, [2] cross-platform, [3] language-agnostic package manager and environment management system. It was originally developed to solve package management challenges faced by Python data scientists , and today is a popular package manager for Python and R .
