=========================
Using optional components
=========================


Anaconda Repository includes a number of components that can be
installed and used individually.

This section describes how to install and use two such tools:

* :doc:`cas-mirror <use-cas-mirror>`.
* :doc:`cas-installer <use-cas-installer>`.

As a convention, all packages and commands that are part of the
Repository product share the common ``cas`` prefix, which is
short for Continuum Anaconda Server. (Anaconda, Inc. was formerly known as
Continuum Analytics, Inc.)

All packages are installed using the ``conda`` command, which is
part of the Miniconda installer. For Repository installation and
configuration instructions, see :doc:`../../install/index`.
