Where do I install Anaconda Python DataScience packages?

I am new to QubesOS. I am liking it a lot although its taking me a while to get used to installing of software via the template.
I am now struggling to install Anaconda Python Data Science packages.
Do I install these in the template?
Anaconda Navigator seems to require an internet connection to install packages…
Would love to hear suggestions from the community…
Thanks

Downloading and installing software in a template from an external repo requires one to specify a proxy. I imagine use of Conda would be similar to using pip as the package manager, so the following discussion should be relevant:

Thanks for your response! I will try to make sense of these suggestions for future reference, however in the mean time I set up a standalone Qube for my development work. I need to be able to use the Anaconda Navigator that requires an internet connection… and I also need to have access to docker containers from docker hub, etc.
