Does installing anaconda conflict with Python3 and R already installed?

Question

I am using the ubuntu platform with version 18.04 and I have R and python installed, Everything is fine with the environment and the tools. I have no issues with the current software. but I have come across the IDE called anaconda where it mentioned it contains various IDE's like R and python in it. I am excited to give a try at it and learn about it, but I have some questions like, will this cause my current IDE's any issues? Can I use then simultaneously? If yes then want about the packages? How do I install packages?

Its an interesting question, even I am working on the ubuntu platform of the same version. There is no problem installing anaconda IDE when you have python and Rstudio installed because working on anaconda means you are working virtually. Due to this, there won't be any issues.

Coming to the installation of packages, as you are already familiar with  'conda' 'sudo' and other commands for installing in ubuntu, the same way you can use the 'conda' and 'pip' command to install the packages in anaconda prompt.

You can refer to the link mentioned Data Science where you can learn Data science from scratch and also can build projects with the help of a trainer.
