I cannot install 64-bit Anaconda 3 on Windows 10. It says the install is complete but when I proceed to install VSCode, it fails. It says to check my internet connection and to look in the log file. But my internet connection is fine and there is no log file. I am running the install with Windows Defender turned off.
When I look at the start menu, none of the components except for Anaconda Prompt, are there. I would like to have Spyder and Jupyter, for example, but they are not there.
If I install the 32-bit version, it works fine. But I need the 64-bit version
Similar issue here. For easy VS code installation with 64-bit anaconda version, you can follow this way:
Install ananconda navigator typing this on shell:
conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
Open anaconda navigator:
anaconda-navigator
It opens a GUI anaconda interface. You can install VS Code from here, only click Install:
It stays Installing dependencies for me all the time, but after reboot, appears installed and works properly.
Hope it helps. It would be interesting to know how to obtain this with conda commands avoiding navigator installation.
I simply close the navigator and open Anaconda Navigator as Run as administrator
and my problem solved.

I am in my tensorflow env on my minicoda prompt and I have just installed the latest version of Spyder via the following prompt: conda update spyder. Before I updated spyder I was on v4.1.3. I then searched to see if it was installed correctly with the following prompt: conda search -f spyder which brought up this list:
However, when I run spyder from miniconda: spyder (or even startup the application by clicking on the icon) it still launches my previous version of 4.1.3
What I then tried to do was run the prompt spyder=5.05 but it still launches version 4.1.3.
In my miniconda3\Lib\site-packages directory my spyder folder's file __init__.py has version = 4.1.3 so I understand that that is why it is launching 4.1.3. I do not know why this spyder folder was not updated. You can also see the pkgs folder there is only Spyder v4.1.3
Can someone please help me get the latest version of spyder to run without me having to uninstall and reinstall it, as I have all my preferences set on spyder and apparently there is no way of exporting and then importing them. Thanks
In my environment on my Miniconda prompt I typed in conda install spyder=5.0.5 and this resolved the issue. I now have Spyder 5.0.5! Acknowledgements to MB-F for giving the solution in the comment section.
Try to do it in this order:
conda update anaconda
and then
conda install spyder=5
this will allow you to successfully upgrade to version 5.
If it didn't help, then do this:
conda install conda-forge::spyder[version='>=5.0.0]
You can put another version
The Anaconda Navigator that I am using is version 1.9.12. Whenever I open the Navigator(run as Administrator), a pop-up comes that asks for upgrade with the following message:
There's a new version of Anaconda Navigator available. We strongly recommend you to upgrade.
If you click yes, Anaconda Navigator will close and then the Anaconda Updater will start.
Do you wish to update to Anaconda Navigator 1.10.0 now?
(You will be prompted to elevate privileges)
No Yes
Once I click the 'Yes' button, the pop-up goes off and nothing will happen(Navigator UI stays there). I tried alternative ways that are mentioned in StackOverflow. I tried the following commands in Anaconda Prompt:
conda update anaconda-navigator
I ran the Anaconda Prompt as administrator. Once the command is run, the process gets stuck at 'resolving the environments'. It may be noted that Python 3.8 is the version that I am running. The Python programs and all its modules are all running fine. Just that I want to upgrade the Navigator.
I found this answer from the another StackOverflow post, but for MacOS. Apparently there's a bug in the Anaconda Updater tool that is fixed in the 1.10 update, but as a catch 22, you can't use the updater to update the software to fix the bug that prevents you from updating the software (as described in the release notes).
So what I did was go to the Windows menu and open the Anaconda Powershell Prompt(Anaconda3) and at the prompt enter:
conda deactivate
then after that is done enter the following:
conda update anaconda-navigator
then just like a pip install it shows you what needs to be updated, you indicate at the prompt, yes (enter y) and it installs.
good luck!
Just encountered the same problem. Windows 10 64bit Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043, Anaconda Navigator 1.9.12
Try
conda install anaconda-navigator=2.0.1
Worked for me.
After that updated to Anaconda Navigator 2.2.0 (last version) via start GUI menu.
After trying different suggested solutions on StackOverflow, this is what eventually worked for me (I am running a Windows 10 Home 21H1 on a 64-bit machine):
Exit Anaconda Navigator
From Windows Start, launch Anaconda Powershell Prompt (miniconda)
At the command line prompt, enter:
conda install anaconda
At this point, I tried conda update anaconda-navigator, but got the error PackageNotInstalledError: Package is not installed in prefix <\path\to\package>:
At the command line prompt, enter the following:
conda install --prefix <\path\to\package> anaconda-navigator
conda update anaconda-navigator
I am trying to install K-modes package in Anaconda.
I cannot find it in Anaconda anywhere.
How do I download and get it to work through an Anaconda distribution?
I am on Mac and have just managed to install kmodes using pip and open in jupyter notebooks in Anaconda. If you are on Windows this might work differently, but you can try it.
First of all I opened the general terminal and I entered
conda info --envs
This shows you what virtual envs have been created in anaconda. It should show you one that says base/ at the start. Simply write source activate and then copy and past the base pathway, and press enter. This will open your anaconda environment.
Then you can do pip install kmodes and enter, and this will install kmodes into your anaconda environment.
I hope this works for you!
Anaconda 2 and 3 are installing without errors. I reboot because the installer prompts me to do so. When I open the Anaconda Prompt, python, pythonw or activate.bat aren't found. Looking in the Anaconda[2|3] folder, I can't find expected .exe and .bat files. What's going wrong?
I also notice that conda update --all wants to update many libs and eventually errors out.
Anaconda installs and updates can silently fail due to conflicts with 3rd party antivirus (for me it's WebRoot) programs. An indicator of Anaconda antivirus conflicts is missing .exe and .bat files, and sometimes requests to reboot. The fix is to shutdown the antivirus program and reinstall Anaconda. I suspect Anaconda isn't following correct Windows installer procedures as it's the only installer than conflicts with WebRoot.
INSTALL IT IN A EXTERNAL DISK!
I had a hard time tryig to install anaconda, because it was never complete, always missing anaconda navigator and the prompt. And after a cicle of install/unistall adopting different approaches, the only thing that made anaconda finally work properly in my computer was installing it in a exterior disk (or a pen drive).It just solved my problems, so give it a try!
Inspired from : https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/732#issuecomment-
****** UNINSTALL ALL PYTHON INSTALLATIONS, OTHERWISE THEY WILL GET MESSED UP AND YOU CANNOT CLEANLY UNINSTALL THEM WITHOUT WINDOWS RESTORE, or at least I think these two problems were related *****
Install Miniconda
As Admin open CMD and change to directory where Miniconda is installed
pythonw.exe -E -s "Lib_nsis.py" addpath
pythonw.exe -E -s "Lib_nsis.py" mkdirs
pythonw.exe -E -s "Lib_nsis.py" mkmenus
run conda init to start the environment. Then exit that CMD
I then ran Anaconda prompt from start menu, but you likely can use CMD
note) if you run "conda list", you will see no packages installed, but good news is conda will install pacakges, so:
conda install numpy
note) this will install conda! lol
conda install anaconda
I've installed anaconda on mavericks osx. When I'm trying to install ipython notebook from launcher app - it shows message that app is installing, but nothing happens after. Also links in launcher don't work and I can easily start ipython notebook from terminal. So I guess something wrong with launcher itself.
How can I fix it?
conda install -f launcher
conda install -f node-webkit
The Launcher application requires both of these on OSX.
It is also a good idea to make sure you Anaconda environment is up to date first with:
conda update conda
conda update anaconda
As of conda 4.1.0 it is recommended to use navigator , For me the launcher stopped working . To install conda navigator
conda install anaconda-navigator
Use Anaconda full suite , that include installing all the tools and necessary packages ,it works fine for me , I didn't use the Launcher !
Had the same issue on MacOSX Yosemite. Was able to run the launcher by typing 'launcher' in the terminal. And then by changing the bash profile IPython Notebook started working
