I've been looking everywhere and cannot find a robust explanation.
I'm brand new to Python, coming from R. I had no issues installing packages there but I'm finding it to be rather confusing in Python.
So, I'm using Anaconda and I want to install this package into Python. It mentions using the conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/amueller wordcloud
command but I have no idea where I'm supposed to run it.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Run it from command line. You can directly install using pip as mentioned in the link. Don't forget to install the pre-requisite packages.
pip install wordcloud
If you are using windows, make sure your environmental path is set so that you can use the pip command directly from windows command prompt. Usually the environmental variable is updated when you install Anaconda distribution.
Conda is just another command which you can use to install packages. Procedure is exactly the same.

If you can't find a package with a simple conda search
from the command line, run a search on the Anaconda website.
In your case, you'll find that the contributor amueller has his own channel and the package wordcloud is available.
Just run conda install -c amueller wordcloud=1.2.1
to install it.
You might want to create a separate environment using conda create
first.
