Confusion between Python and Anaconda

I recently started programming in Python (Python 3.5) on my Linux OS. But I am confused about Anaconda. What is it really? Is it a Python version or something else? If I don't install Anaconda, are there any restrictions?

Anaconda is a free and open source Python distribution and a collection of hundreds of packages related to science, science programming, development, and more. Python is included in the Anaconda distribution. It is not an IDE (like PyCharm mentioned in the comments), although it can be configured with most IDEs. Note that the distribution includes an IDE called Spyder. It also comes with a platform-agnostic package manager called conda.
