You don't have to install the entirety of anaconda. You can install miniconda (from here: http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html) and then do `conda install $package_name` or, if like me you like to create separate environments for separate projects... `conda create --name $environment_name python; source activate $environment_name; conda install $package_name`

disclosure: I work on miniconda. I'm currently working on improving our developer experience. Complaints are welcome.
