I had to install the 64-bit version of Anaconda with python 3.5 in Windows 10. I followed the default settings (AppData/Continuum/Anaconda3
). However, after installation, I am unsure how to access the Anaconda command prompt so that I can use conda to install packages. I also attempted to install Anaconda 64 bit in C:/Program Files,
but several of the python script did not like the space and it failed to install.
What can I do to access the Anaconda prompt?
Windows: You'll find Anaconda Navigator in the Start menu. Linux: Open a terminal window and run the command anaconda-navigator .
From the Start menu, search for and open "Anaconda Prompt."
Go with the mouse to the Windows Icon (lower left) and start typing "Anaconda". There should show up some matching entries. Select "Anaconda Prompt". A new command window, named "Anaconda Prompt" will open. Now, you can work from there with Python, conda and other tools.
To run Anaconda Prompt using icon, I made an icon and put
%windir%\System32\cmd.exe "/K" C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3
The file location would be different in each computer.
at icon -> right click -> Property -> Shortcut -> Target
I see %HOMEPATH%
at icon -> right click -> Property -> Start in
OS: Windows 10, Library: Anaconda 10 (64 bit)
