I wanted to get my hands on the Anaconda Navigator. Recently on a normal PC I opened it and used it as if I'd been using it my whole life, the thing is that that PC uses Windows 7.
My laptop, however, has Windows 10 and it does not work. Anaconda installed after one hour and the navigator does not appear. I don't know if it's the whole of Windows 10 or just my machine, but it seems to me that the navigator should be here somewhere. The problem lies in that the 'Start' option for Windows 10 does not allow a user to ACTUALLY search for files ON their computer (total bummer since it makes everything difficult), so only the anaconda prompt and some "web searches" appear. Completely useless whatsoever.
I did try using the anaconda prompt with the help of a previously posted question (Anaconda Installed but Cannot Launch Navigator) with an identical problem to mine, where some of you mentioned that I should try the command 'anaconda-navigator', 'anaconda-navigator as', 'anaconda navigator', amongst other commands. None of which worked in any possible way. The commands were ignored since they just invoked errors that I do not know of.
Does anyone know what I should do/try, and if possible, leaving the option of reinstalling Anaconda all over as the last option? Thank you guys, would really help.
Ps: I downloaded the latest version for 64-bit Windows from the official page of Anaconda
Open the terminal (win+r and write cmd then press enter)
Call conda info (conda should be installed.)
One of the response fields should be base environment : followed by a directory.
In that directory there should be a Scripts folder containing the anaconda-navigator application. Hit it and wait patiently while it spins up. Navigator should open. You can point shortcuts here and so on.
I had a similar problem, but it cleared up after running Spyder once.

I recently got a new laptop at work. 2 years ago on my old laptop I set up some python environments through the command prompt opened in Anaconda and somehow each of those environments was put into my start menu as subheadings under Anaconda, enabling me to go right to them without opening Anaconda itself. I cannot remember how I did that, but I know I did not edit any registries or paths or anything.
I was hoping to do this on my new computer, but I cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help?
Anaconda Navigator 2.3.1
Windows 10 Enterprise version 212H
I installed it on Windows 10 64x - from Anaconda site. It installs to C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 and the folder is like:
When I run _conda.exe, the prompt window appears and closes in a second. That's all.
I don't see no Navigator, nor Prompt. I have rebooted the PC.
What's the matter and how can I fix this problem?
You do not need to run that. Just use conda in shell.
I installed Anaconda 3. After Install I reboot the computer but, when I opened Anaconda Navigator, this keep happening, first this CMD window appears Conda.exe
and then this window appears gpython.exe
Before reboot, everything fine, I could open Anaconda Navigator. After reboot, (insert Billy Butcher from the Boys) BOOM, this happen.
This also happens everytime I type "conda" on the command prompt,with the python interpreter (second picture) keep appearing. So pretty much any solution on the internet that told me to use "conda" doesnt help.
Also this happens to every Anaconda Application (Anaconda Prompt, Anaconda Navigator).
I believe that whenever you launch anaconda conda.exe will run, at least it does for me.
Regarding gpython.exe, I could only find the following question referring to it
Django error: Command throws a python window when executing makemigrations command in a Python/Django project
This makes it seem like your anaconda may require a reinstall, I checked my anaconda files and couldn't find a gpython.exe in the path where yours appears, so this may be the case. Hope this helps.
I am having trouble getting the Anaconda distribution to function properly on my Windows 10 computer (64 bit).
I downloaded the 64 bit graphical installer for Python 3.7. I installed Anaconda for all users and it lives in this path:
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3
(I also tried to install for “just my user” but it didn’t help.)
The issue is my computer does not recognize Anaconda. When I open my command prompt and enter in “conda” , “jupyter notebook”, or “python” - I get an error message below:
'conda/jupyter/python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and selected the checkbox during the setup wizard to “add Anaconda to my PATH environment variable” and I still received the same error message when using the command prompt to locate Anaconda.
I then manually attempted to add the following paths to my PATH environment variable (for both user and system variables):
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin
That still did not work. I restarted my computer and tried it again - did not work.
I also cannot use Anaconda Prompt or Anaconda Navigator. I understand that they are supposed to be available through the start menu after installation, but they are not. I have also tried to locate them through the Command Prompt but they are not there either.
Overall, I have restarted my computer and reinstalled Anaconda numerous times and nothing has worked. I’m not sure what to do next.
I have discovered the answer! It seems that my virus software (McAfee Endpoint Security) was blocking Anaconda from working correctly. The workaround was to install an older version of Python (I used the Dec. 2018 version) from the Continuum repo here.
open up a windows cmd prompt and try set PATH=/c/programdata\anaconda3:$PATH It is important to note that the exe file for Anaconda is _conda.exe. So to check if this was successful type which python and which _conda into the command prompt.
I tried to install Anaconda 3.7 in windows 10 and, for some reason, only the 32bit version worked. For the 64bit I can't find the launching icons and conda commands are not recognized in the cmd.
Downloading a previous version of the anaconda distribution might do it.
Check out the archive to find and download your choice of preference.
I installed the earlier anaconda32020.02 64 bit from the archive and it worked fine.
I'll update to 2020.07 at a later(debugged) date.
I use to have idle. Then I downloaded Anaconda and opened idle through there. I have not used idle for a while but just recently went to go open it up and use it again. However, it seems I no longer have idle on my computer, to my understanding I can still get to idle through Anaconda but I forgot how. Is there a way to open idle through Anaconda without re-downloading idle? If so what command can I use to pull Idle up?
Search for this folder "idlelib" in the Lib folder of the Anaconda version you have installed and you will find idle (check its file type: "compiled python file").
Pin it to your taskbar and run.
You are looking for C:\... <\> ...Anaconda3\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat
There is also C:\ ... <\> ...Anaconda3\Scripts\idle.exe which seems to run a little smoother, but there has to be a Command Prompt open in the background to run. ... ?
Navigate to your Anaconda3 installation folder. Yours could be anywhere, mine is at "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3", but I installed for all users and you could have selected a random location on your drive. If you managed to add it to the environment variables you could easily find it by running the Command Prompt (not Powershell - has to be Command Prompt) and typing where conda or where anaconda and pressing enter. You should find a folder named Anaconda3 or something of that nature.
If you navigate to this folder, and within it find the "Anaconda3\Lib\idlelib\" folder, within it there is a file called "idle.bat". If you find this "Anaconda3\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat" file you can double click it to run IDLE, although it may be a little messy/outdated/glitchy/strange since you are updating all kinds of folders within Anaconda and some of them may have helped idle.bat run. Mine has a the spyder icon associated with it in the task bar and a blotted out IDLE icon in the top left corner for some reason. You could of course run the full path in command prompt as well if you already know where it is, for instance I would run...
C:\Users\Thomas>C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat
~or~
C:\Users\Thomas>C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\idle.exe
--> It may be easier to just download a new version of Python side by side with Anaconda to run IDLE. I have been attempting to set a shortcut in the Start Menu that runs from anaconda properly for days and have failed. This way, there should be a right click>'run with IDLE' option for python files.
I believe the tilde slash (~/) was meant to imply your home directory since that is what it signifies on a linux machine, but seeing as you could have put it anywhere on the machine, even directly on the C:\ drive, maybe he meant 'unknown file path'.
If you are running MacOs (currently I am on Catalina - MacOs10.15) it is quite simple to run IDLE from Anaconda environment:
Launch Anaconda
Go to MacOs Terminal.
Type IDLE3
warning: if you type IDLE, the Python 2 IDLE will be opened ... but if you are using Python3 installed with Anaconda ... it doesn't work properly.
