在辅助驱动器上安装 Anaconda (Windows)

Question

I'm running Windows 10 Home, and I recently downloaded Anaconda because I wanted to be able to use Spyder, and wasn't really anticipating how much storage space it would take up, so I had to uninstall it.

However, my computer has two hard drives--a 100gb C:/ drive that windows boots off of and a much larger D:/ drive meant for storage. A lot of anaconda's largest files seem to be saved to C:/Users/[User], which is still on my C drive. And taking up space that I don't really have to spare.

Is there a way to tell Anaconda during installation (or initial run, possibly, it looks like) that it should save those files somewhere else? One of the environment variables, maybe?

If not I guess I'm open to suggestions for other Python IDEs that are smaller or can be put entirely on a secondary drive.

If you only want to work with spyder and not the rest of the software that comes bundled with Anaconda, you can just

pip install PyQt5 
pip install spyder

Here is a guide for installing Spyder .
