Conda is installed by default and you should be able to use it without doing anything.
If it does not work for you automatically all you need to do is source the right file.
$ source /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
You can then add the above source line to your shells configurations files. E.g. .bash_profile.

Assuming I have my .bashrc and .bash_profile/.profile setup right I can do the following:
$ which conda /home/USERNAME/.local/anaconda3/bin/conda
